Who’s Who?
In Philosophy, it is vital to know who the main philosophers are, and what they philosophized about. I have compiled a list of the big ones, some small ones, and a couple of philosophies they are particularly known for. Some of the big ones, like Plato and Descartes, dabbled in a bit of everything, but I’ll list only the main philosophies. They aren’t in any order yet, I’ll alphabetize them eventually.
