I think many of the philosophers have varying attractive attributes....
Here are some that were put into song.
personaz1@hotmail.com
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, [some versions have 'Schopenhauer and Hegel']
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whisky every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And René Descartes was a drunken fart.
'I drink, therefore I am.'
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed.

of course Plato is the greatest. but for my personal favourite I really like Gilles Deleuze because I don't know of anybody who has had as much success in searching for an escape from the trappings rigid Hegelian dialectics. the nomad thought of Deleuze is a great way to rigourously approach many things people have given up on and abandoned to apathy, nihilism, relativism, utilitarianism, and other banal evils of our modern age. Kant is great too but not in my top 5.

Rene Descartes is my choice. I've read a lot of philosophers and Descartes is the one who I can relate to the most.

Machiavelli and Sir John Stewart Mill. I don't always agree with them, but they keep me thinking and asking questions.

John Dewey for his instrumentalist theory of knowledge, and Ayn Rand for her objectivist outlook on personal worth.
