As I am growing older, I have started enjoying reading and appreciating certain aspects of the pessimistic philosophy of #Schopenhauer.
One has to read at least these philosophers to develop a broader understanding of society, logic and methods of enquiry->
1. Hume
2. Descartes
3. Hegel
4. Marx
5. Schopenhauer
6. Kant
7. Wittgenstein
8. Berkeley
9. Isaiah Berlin
10. AJ Ayer
11. Anthony Kenny
12. Nietzsche

Of course, the list above is expandable.
I cannot write the names of all philosophers, logicians, and methodologists in one tweet.
Yes, Anthony Quinton, P.F. Strawson, Quinne, David Donaldson and Amartya Sen (Philosophy of Economics) can be added to the suggested reading list.

There is no Chronological order one should and ought to follow when selecting philosophers.
Yes, Aristotle, Socrates and Plato are the three greats. Goes without saying!
But, we should divide philosophy and logic into three parts, namely, Ancient, Medieval and Contemporary.

I believe in Epistemology and value additions to knowledge and metaphysics.
I am not going to fall for those who would like to use the pretext of time and infatuation with history, to arrive at a conclusion.
There is an intellectual prejudice against modernity.
That is Fatalism.

When doing intellectual analysis of writing a critique or selecting among scholars of wisdom, within a given field, one should not allow the past to muddle the present.
This is the cynicism of the worst kind present in academia.

which group of philosophers contributed more to #Mathematical Logic?
#Aristotle, Socrates or Plato?
Or possibly->
#Whitehead, #Frege, #Russel or #Quinn?
Of course, the latter group and not the former!!

I am ready to argue if you are!

No, I don't regard George Steiner as a Philosopher.
He was a prolific writer and a literary personality whose contributions to literature, and many ancillary areas, are remarkable.
if you believe literature and philosophy are the same, you are going down the Bryan Maggie Lane!

Watch this to understand where I am coming from!
No, not everyone can be categorized or described as a Philosopher or a Logician or a Methodologist.
The entire crux of the argument underlying this thread is as to who does or doesn't qualify to call himself or herself a philosopher?
This needs more scholarly excavation.

Will, you regard Isaac #Newton or #Leibniz as Philosophers?
Yes or no?
Were the two men not domineering personalities in their own right?
Their towering contributions to the mathematics of #calculus.
