Favorite Greek Philosopher?

From Thales to Proclus, who is your favorite Greek philosopher?

Personally, mine would have to be Democritus of Abdera.  He theorized the invisible, indivisible particle which he called the "atomos".  He was also the first philosopher to realize the Milky Way was made up of light from distant stars, and other planets could be inhabited.

Hippocrates was the most important even though he was a physician, for what he did to modern medicine. Solely philsophers would have to be Socrates because i completely disagree with almost everthing about Plato.CrimzonTide

Confusius. Oh, wait....Dashtal

He also disagreed with democracy, and felt the average person was too stupid to vote, a very questionable sentiment.

There can be no doubt Socrates was the most "wise". Plato on the other hand in some respects was an anarchist. If you closely look out how much Greek society was based around Democracy, it could be argued he was trying to dismantle that society.

Plato is my favourite, seeing as he's the one I know most about...

The main 3 are the coolest...Socretes, Plato, Aristotlelzorro

Socrates, the greatest doubter of all time.

I'll have to say Aristotle, Socrates and Plato. Not because I think they are particularly interesting on their own today, but because they influenced many later philosophers.

Honorable mention: Epicurus :P
