Plato caught My eye early In life,In my teens, as Did Neitzsche. I have since Fallen for eastern Philosphy, from books Like The Tao Te Ching By Lao Tzu to Yamamoto Tsunetomo's Hagakure To The Bhagavad Gita and The Dhammapadra (i think i spelled that right). I think Michel De Montaigne is up next for me. Haven't yet read His essays. Going to tho.
Enjoy.

Omar Kiam is my favorite, such splendor and common sense, but the world's leader in philosophy that made psychology a business and with good cause and theories, is Arthur Schoepenhauer,"World and Will and Representation"
That is the most informative philosopher I have ever read and really truly the best.

Jean Paul Sartre, he was a high school philosophy teacher in the French city where my mother grew up and lived. He taught in Laon before returning to Paris to teach there. Yet while Sartre lived in Laon, he published one philosophical book about perception and was working on another one Nausea. My grandfather was attending the school the same time Sartre was teaching there.

If i am looking towards an ethical system Kant and Kierkegaard. If i am look for more epistemological Hume. So really it depends on what branch i am dealing with.
