Top Twenty Philosophers!

A list of philosophers and mystics I particularly like. I must admit I can't find a common theme here - maybe there's some kind of Wittgensteinian family resemblance going on!

I hope eventually to have short essays, links and/or selected quotations for all these people; in the meantime please be patient!  The last column takes you to a short  book review .  Most of these books are available through Amazon.com, and you can order direct from this site.
