I like Husserl's better. "I think, therefore there is thought."
Thanks felonius! It's nice to think about some of these thinkers I haven't thought about in a while.

The same goes here. Going back and thinking about some of those people made me realise how much I've forgotten. Just about all of your critiques of me were dead on. I'm still not so sure about the Plato stuff, but thats not really a philisophical matter. Its more a matter of what we were taught I suspect.
Its always a pleasure to run into someone with well thought out and clear ideas on the internet. Its such a rarity.
As for the question of female philosophers, they're pretty rare. There is one ancient Greek woman who's name escapes me at the moment who was a philosopher of note (although a large part of it is because she was a female philosopher in a very patriarchal society). Wallstonecraft comes to mind for post Renaissance/Industrial Revolution era stuff.
There are some very big postmodern/feminist philosophers too. Its a damn shame I'm terrible with names or I could recommend a few. But as far as classics go, there aren't many.
