Schopenhauer deserves the cut. John Stuart Mill or Adam Smith or John Rawls deserves the addition.
>>
>>8858509
Marx. He was a disgusting cuck who didn't take the redpill
>>
>>8858530

Philosophers are men who think for long periods of time. Why does it surprise you that they're white?

>>8860054
>Confucius
>white guy

hmm
>>
>>8858527
>John Rawls

>>8858509
Cut Russell, Sartre, and Socrates (Plato covers this). Add Hobbes, Foucault, and Kierkegaard. Maybe replace Marx with Smith.

Name a single person of color that is made an equal contribution to philosophy as those twenty in the OP.

Hint: some have done much less than the others
>>
>>8860087
No, fuck you non-white subhumans for demanding equality of outcome and pretending it's about equality of opportunity and calling anyone who disagrees racist.
>>
>>8860087
You said 20 white guys originally, so when someone pointed out you were wrong, you went into an autistic fit. Not surprising desu

>equal

Just because you get to vote and have the same rights as us doesn't mean we have to re-write our history to make it more inclusive of "PoCs"

I'm sure if you typed the same question into Chinese google you would get a list of Asian philosophers, so why don't you take a chill pill my colored friend? Not everything is this huge conspiracy to fuck you over.
>>
>>8858596
What makes you say that?
>>
Platonic and Aristophanic Socrates are top notch. Xenophone a shit.

As for those that deserve to be dropped there are many...
But ESPECIALLY Sartre. What a hack.

Yes, you subhuman nigger.
>>
>>8860087

>>8861794
I'll admit I'm taking a shit right now and wanted to stop writing that because it was really self-indulgent, but accidentally hit "post"

I'm not sure why the fact that I'm taking a shit is important but it is

William Henry?
>>
Plato should be on there but Socrates should be lumped in with him.

I think it's a solid list for Western philosophy. It's too hard for me to think of Eastern philosophy in the same way and for the same list, because the tradition has such a different history, role in society, and methodology. It's just as great though. Nagarjuna is easily the philosopher I think about in my daily life more than any other, though I'm a Buddhist so I'm biased.

>China only existed after communism
>>
Marx is more a political theorist than a philosopher
