So what's the definitive list of philosophers listed by tier?
>>9231408
From the top of my head:
God Tier: Kant, Hegel, Wittgenstein
Great Tier: Husserl, Marx, Freud
Good Tier: Plato, Aristotle, Heidegger
Fair Tier: Nietzsche, Leibniz, Adorno
Rest aren't worth consideration in a ranking
>>9231408
God: Kant
Top: Plato, Aristotle
High: Hegel, Pierce, Spinoza
Medium: Hume, Hobbes, Aquinas, Heidegger
Low: Descartes, Locke, Neitzche
Shit: Leibniz, Foucault
>>9231427
>Top: Plato, Aristotle
>>9231427
>includes Heidegger but not Husserl
>>9231430
oh sorry I was supposed to meme and say that Marx and Freud are better than Aristotle, forgot that this was a board for children
Thanks for the input. I plan on reading as many as possible, but I've just started with the Greeks.
What's the verdict on Stirner? He seems like /myguy/ from the small amount I've learned about him.
Literal god: dale carnegie
Shit: everyone else
>>9231435
I can deal with one mistake, honestly I would have thrown Putnam in there too but oh well
>>9231436
Chronological priviledging and piety really shows a weak mind.

The obvious answers are:
