RE: favorite philosopher?
The ones who reiterated Kant's work because Kant doesn't make much sense.

Oh, and I guess at the moment, my favourite "thinker" (if I had to actually choose one) would be Thomas Paine. I don't think he was considered a proper philosopher, but he had a brilliant mind in my opinion.
