Socrates! He always showed his opponents that they didn't have a firm understanding of their own beliefs. He had so much respect for reason that he reasoned aloud before a massive jury even after he was sentenced to death.

Wayne Dyer.

My grandmother after a few bottles of wine. She thinks that she has the almighty solution to everyone's problem, and will even quote Ram Dass, The Dali Lama, Lama Tashi, and Christ, yet she still makes no sense whatsoever.

Ken Wilber.

Well, I don't know if everyone else would really consider him a philosopher. I choose the author Kurt Vonnegut Jr. He predicted some of the negative aspects of the industrial taking over of the US. He explained the concept of machines "taking over" the earth. He wrote so many wonderful theories, all the while concealing them in interesting, humorous science-"fiction" novels.
-
Socrates the philospher and believer in his own ideas until the very end
-
Geddy lee of Rush. "You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice, if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill i will choose a path thats clear. I will choose free will." kinda corny but i love it.

I would say Sir Thomas More because of his ideas of Utopia, but after reading exactly what his Utopia was, it didn't seem like anyone would be truly happy in a utilitarian society... Next, I guess Plato had some great ideas in his Republic, but then that could be assumed to have led to a type of fascism. So I guess I will have to stick with old Socrates. To think of discovering your own ignorance as the beginning of knowledge is brilliant.
-
Aldous Huxley. Sure he was zonked out on drugs for half his life, but he had some amazing way ahead of his time ideas.
-
Popeye the Sailor -- there's just something sorta "Zen" about a sailor who does everything EXCEPT sailing on a ship. Plus, you gotta love that mantra of "I yam what I yam, and that's all what I yam!" Very "Marcus Aurelius", that one...
-
Nietzsche.
-
Renee Descartes. His three deceptions are marvelously creative.
-
Socrates every time. 'For he is wisest who knows he knows nothing at all.' Socrates the street teacher free of charge. Corrupter (teacher) of the youth. Denouncer of the gods. Poisoned by the state.
-
Beyound any doubt, Freidrick Nietzsche.
-
Marshal Mathers III, Bill Watterson and Irvine Welsh. Ha ha. But if I have to go at it traditionally, I'm going with Darwin. I don't actually like what I understand from his work, but from the little I might have understood on life and people, I believe that he's right. Philosophy to me isn't religion, it's what we used to call psychology before we knew what that was. XD

My favorite philosopher is Parmenides(510 BCE). A pre- Socrates wacky philosopher. But I also love Baruch B. Spinoza(1632-77 CE). A very, very controversial philosopher. One of his argument which stirred a lot of controversies, was that nowhere in the Scripture did it say "angels" axist. Most people in the community he grew up sponged his name out of their books.
-
It's between Socrates or Sartre for me, and a tough decision. I love Socrates' method of questioning, as well as his wise vs. unwise man quote ("He is wisest, who knows he knows nothing.") I'm a big fan of a lot of Sartre's ideas, however. For example, his ideas of personal responsibility are stunning. "We are alone, with no excuses."
-
Plato, I m amazed of his "Supper".

That is like asking someone what there favorite author is in classic literature. I have a long list. But among them are; Soren Kierkegaard , Sartre, Nietzsche, pindar, aristotle, socrates and plato, Descartes. "A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him." I have too many favorites to mention for too many different reasons to mention them.

Lao Tzu

I have a love-hate relationship with Nietzsche! I would say him =)

Rudolf Steiner

Chuck Missler http://www.khouse.org/ all though many do not understand him because of the intellectual levels he speaks on. If you are not mathmatically inclined he will probably be over your head, but yet he is very understandable if you listen to him or a broadcast entirely.
