West: Plato, Aristotle, Hume, Kant, Heidegger
East: Kung Fu Tzu


The influence of Hume -> Kant, the former "interrupted the dogmatic slumber" of the latter, just totally fascinates me. Although it is somewhat unfortunate that metaphysics was destroyed by them, their works are simply unmatched by other thinkers and there are so much to learn from them. Heidegger because I simply think he's the greatest continental thinker (which is my interest).
