There has already been a poll made about 18th century philosophers, but I decided to create a new one because:
1. The previous one was missing alot of important philosophers.
2. The previous one was kind of which one had the biggest impact on history, this one is for philosophy.
As I said this poll is meant to be about, who had the biggest impact on philosophy not world history, despite this being a history, not philosophy related forum. (Sorry for the long sentence)

I will have to vote Hume dor the following reasons:
1. His work with the problem of injuction and causality.
2. His ideas of ideas and impressions and bundle theory. The bundle theory dictates that no object nor being has an inner substance, but the idea of them is rather just a bundle of differnt impressions.
3. Hume's guillotine (not used for killing people
4. He was arguably the biggest influencer of Kant's philosophy.
5. Last but definitely not least: The idea that non existent objects and beings like angels (of course I nor anyone else can prove that angels don't exist but neither can anyone prove they do (I can neither prove that unicorns don't exist, but the point is about things that haven't been proven to exist)) are neither result of a direct empirical impression nor result of rational thinking, but rather a result of the human mind adding different empirical impressions. For example, in the case of an angel, oversimplified the impressions of a human body and wings.

It looks like Rosseau is leading again. This poll was meant to be about philosophy, not politics and I think Rosseau's impact was rather political than philosophical.

Seems like people don't know metaphysics here . Umm, I voted for Liebnitz. He was certainly influential, if an idiot. |
