    No Voltaire???

    This reads more like a political ideology list than for philosophy. -_-

    Voltaire help solidify the Enlightenment movement, which so much "science" these days take for granted.
    From the #1 Cata review on Amazon.com: "Blizzard's greatest misstep was blaming players instead of admitting their mistakes.
    They've convinced half of the population that the other half are unskilled whiners, causing a permanent rift in the community."

    I like Descartes, "Cogito ergo sum" is a pretty cool concept.

    He was totally religious though and tried to prove god made men with a faulty logic. I'm religious too but I remember having a huge argument with my philosophy teacher about it.

    But overall, I find it hard to find a favorite. They all seem to have one fatal flaw. Self sacrifice in the name of ideals. This is something that just doesn't make any sense and makes them hard to respect. The ones who weren't willing to die because of their ideals were mostly racist/biased or just had weird views.

    Perhaps this is just because I've started reading his works, but I'm partial to Daniel Dennett. I don't agree with him on the subject of free will, but his adherence to the use of evolution as an explanation for some human behaviors largely aligns with my own views on the role of evolution.

    Hume, Locke, Mill.

    If George Carlin is your constant philosophical touchstone, you need to read more. A lot more.
