You omitted one great philosopher, Baruch Spinoza, who in fact influenced many of those philosophers that you mentioned and was a great revolutionary. He influenced many of the ideas of the French Revolution, and even all the enlightenment philosophers.

No mention of the great Schopenhauer? One of the greatest philosophers of all time!

Great posts. There are so many rabbit holes to dig into after watching.

Where's my dearest Diogenes of Sinope?

Looking forward to part 2! I'm not even going to point out everyone you missed because you can't get them all in 1 video.

Only 1 non-western philosopher is a little silly. Laozi should definitely be here, wrote the Book of Tao, the first organized form of Taoism in writing, now followed by hundreds of millions of people today. Sun Tzu was also a philosopher, groundbreaking military philosophy written in a time of brutes

Thanks so much for this really well made video. This is the first time I've ever heard most of the subject of philosophy. It'd be nice to have this graphic and well summarized introductions in a small coffee table book. I'm saving this video! 😊

Well done. It's amazing how many people have attempted to understand reality, our world, man's comprehension of self and reality, and nobody has truly nailed it down.

Imagine if one of those meanders of western thought had hit a fault or fissure and gone in a totally different direction. Then Wittgenstein and his ilk kneecapped the whole field with endless peregrinations round the same trivial minutiae. But it’s interesting to think if anyone not in that general flow from anywhere else besides Europe had been inserted into that lineage could they have diverted our assumptions into a whole new ocean of certainties?

[salvadoralvarado]

in any list of influential philosophers the names of arthur schopenhauer, bertrand russell and john dewey must be included
