Leibniz made some calculus and shit

Kant wrote stuff that was hard to understand

Schelling because Naturphilosophie (look that shit up) and then watch that Spongebob Episode

Hegel is pretty memey desu

Schopenhauer because 'muh pessimism'

Marx because they all are living equally

Stirner should be obvious

Nietzsche because ubermensch

Frege was a maths guy

Weber because something about studying society or some shit

Freud 'the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma'

Jung - idk desu

Spengler was into art

Wittgenstein because he talked about language, so I guess it's about what gives a box 'boxyenss' or something

Heidegger because something about spending time alone

Hayek was an economist

I don't know about the last four.
