one person’s list

In yesterday’s posts I explained why I’m inclined to start moving away from both the “great individuals” and “great arguments” views of the history of philosophy in favor of a study of those half-articulate core insights that generate great clusters of philosophers with such striking frequency.

Nonetheless, I’m still interested in the great philosophers lists, and here is a list at ONTOLOGENESIS, which contains a number of surprises.

I don’t feel like posting my latest Top 25 List, but it’s not that surprising. The two most surprising on mine are probably Brentano and Anaxagoras.
