Aristotle. His studies in logic impress me a lot. He created the concept of definition and how to compose a logically correct proposition (syllogism).

None of the ancient Greek philosophers. Philosophy has moved way past them IMO. Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nick Bostrom are my two favorites.

I think the greeks should get more credit because of the originality of their ideas. Its easier to modify or expand a pre existing idea than to create an entirely new one.

I mean, Plato and Aristotle’s teachings are considered the foundation of western culture.

Plato. Revolutionary ideas that, while not particularly practical, were extremely advanced for their time.

And Darth Bane was the foundation of the Banite Line; he was also the weakest of them.

Not that I agree that the Greek philosophers are completely irrelevant today.

I do not really have any specific favorites. Favoring any specific philosopher is honestly kinda counter-productive as far as understanding philosophy itself goes.
