hume, heideggar, tarski, husserl would be nice. you know, people that advanced the field instead of working down from a premise or assumption.

instead it'd probably be something retarded like wittgenstein, kierkegaard, du bois, and fuckin ayn rand or something.

Death Grips.

Just the first three of these. If you insist on having four people then maybe Kant I guess.

>>2817349
Define "advancing the field"

It must be 4 people. Aquinas is the 4th.

Wew

>Washington
Socrates

>Jefferson
Plato

>Theodore Roosevelt

>>2817131
Aristotle
>Represents pre-Christian era of philosophy, could switch him out for Plato or Socrates but I like Aristotle the most
Aquinas
>GOAT Christian philosopher
Locke
>Need someone for classical liberalism given how big of a deal that was.

Deciding on a fourth:
Marx/Engles
>Hate to put them up here as a staunch anti-communist but their historical impact is absurd
Nietzsche
>Hate that edgelords love him so much but he is undeniably important
Kant
>I like him personally
Hume
>Eh
Heidegger
>Just the most well-known post-modernist
Confusious/Buddah/etc.
>I feel like some sort of eastern philosopher deserves a spot here but we could keep this easy and stick to Western thought.

Could obviously go on but I like the first three.
