GREATEST PHILOSOPHER

[JuJu]

Did you list Kierkegaard..? And Heidegger, with his overly thick sentences.

I'd pick Simone de Beauvoir... The ethics of ambiguity is probably my favorite book of this ilk.

(I wouldn't mind living like Jean-Jacques though... Except, you know, perhaps I'd be slightly better to my family... Perhaps and slightly.)

Try Julia Kristeva for a female post-structuralist philosopher.

Also, you're missing a lot of people there! What about Althusser, Lacan, Todorov, Barthes etc etc etc. Sure, with structuralism and post-structuralism, you're moving ever more away from strict 'philosophy' toward a blending with other 'schools' or 'disciplines', which is why I prefer using the broader category of theorists.

But my favourite is and most likely always will be Foucault. I think I even mentioned him my type thread, as though adoring him would somehow help me discover my type.

What about Mr Miyagi (Karate Kid movie)?
