Favorite Philosophers?

Favorite Philosophers?
Hey Guys! 

I thought it might be fun for people to list their favorite philosophers. If you're not all that into philosophy, just put the name of one person that you like. Or if you're a hopeless wisdom-lover like me, make it a top 5. These don't have to be "canonized" western philosophers or anything-- just your favorite thinkers. Some of you may like Freud or Leo Tolstoy (who, by strict definition, don't fit into the category). Who cares?  Have fun with it. Theists can put Jesus on the list to annoy everyone etc...

1. Socrates
2. Friedrich Nietzsche
3. Henry David Thoreau
4. Plato
5. William James

(Spinoza fights with James for the number 5 slot.)
