the writings of Karl Marx changed the history .all the countries whether directly or indirectly following his theories. even now it is a force to reckon with in several countries, like Cuba, china, north Korea, India, Nepal, srilanka, and several Latin American countries. Freud's writings unveiled the ugly wolf that existed in our unconscious Nessa. can any body deny that Marx's writings did not influence on paintings, cinemas, literature, economics, politics. it inspired celeb reties like Picasso, charlie Chaplin, Noam Chomsky. very few people know that Pavlov's conditional reflex theory was highly misused in Stalin's era by brain washing people and making them slaves to Stalin.

Except for Marx, these guys are still too "young" to have a visible impact on us... But Sartre definitely didn't have world-changing thoughts.
I agree with the first answerer. At the moment Marx is leading with the whole stuff in connection with socialism.

Let us consider the strength of Communist China. Let us consider the viciousness of North Korea. Let us consider the threat Cuba presents us to this very day. Let us consider the former Soviet Union, a match for America in military in its prime, and devoted to the West's destruction.
I guess it would be their founder, Karl Marx.

You skipped the most important of all Aristotle, Galileo and Plato. Without the Greek philosophers there would have been no concept called democracy and the somewhat civilized world we see today.

Man kind is not a person, it is a collective. I would hope that the thoughts of the people that came before us are the ones that influenced us the most, in the same way I hope that we are our children's biggest influence.

All of the above and many others.It is the diffusionism of cultural-sociological traits.
