2. Socrates was a Greek philosopher and
the main source of Western thought.
Little is known of his life except what
was recorded by his students,
including Plato.
Socrates was born in ancient Athens, Greece. His "Socratic
method," laid the groundwork for Western systems of logic
and philosophy. When the political climate of Greece
turned, Socrates was sentenced to death by hemlock
poisoning in 399 BC. He accepted this judgment rather than
fleeing into exile.
Falling down is not a failure. Failure comes when you
stay where you have fallen.

3. Ancient Greek philosopher Plato
founded the Academy and is the author
of philosophical works of unparalleled
influence in Western thought.
Born circa 428 B.C.E., ancient Greek
philosopher Plato was a student of Socrates and a teacher
of Aristotle. His writings explored justice, beauty and
equality, and also contained discussions in aesthetics,
political philosophy, theology, cosmology, epistemology
and the philosophy of language. Plato founded the
Academy in Athens, one of the first institutions of higher
learning in the Western world. He died in Athens circa 348
B.C.E.

4. G.W.F. Hegel was born in Stuttgart in 1770, the
son of an official in the government of the Duke
of Württemberg. He was educated at the Royal
Highschool in Stuttgart from 1777-88 and
steeped in both the classics and the literature of
the European Enlightenment. In October, 1788 Hegel began studies at a
theological seminary in Tübingen, the Tüberger Stift, where he became
friends with the poet Hölderlin and philosopher Friedrich Schelling,
both of whom would later become famous
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) is one of the
greatest systematic thinkers in the history of Western philosophy.

5. Heidegger was born on September 26, 1889 in
Messkirch in south-west Germany to a Catholic family.
His father worked as sexton in the local church. In his
early youth, Heidegger was being prepared for the
priesthood.
Martin Heidegger is widely acknowledged to be one of
the most original and important philosophers of the 20th century, while remaining
one of the most controversial. His thinking has contributed to such diverse fields
as phenomenology (Merleau-Ponty), existentialism (Sartre, Ortega y Gasset),
hermeneutics (Gadamer, Ricoeur), political theory (Arendt, Marcuse, Habermas),
psychology (Boss, Binswanger, Rollo May), and theology (Bultmann, Rahner,
Tillich). His critique of traditional metaphysics and his opposition to positivism
and technological world domination have been embraced by leading theorists of
postmodernity (Derrida, Foucault, and Lyotard). On the other hand, his
involvement in the Nazi movement has invoked a stormy debate. Although he
never claimed that his philosophy was concerned with politics, political
considerations have come to overshadow his philosophical work.
“Anyone can achieve their fullest potential, who we are
might be predetermined, but the path we follow is always of
our own choosing. We should never allow our fears or the
expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny. Your
destiny can't be changed but, it can be challenged. Every
man is born as many men and dies as a single one.”

6. Karl Marx, in full Karl Heinrich Marx, (born
May 5, 1818, Trier, Rhine
province, Prussia [Germany]—died March 14, 1883, London,
England), revolutionary, sociologist, historian, and economist. He
published (with Friedrich Engels) Manifest der Kommunistischen
Partei (1848), commonly known as The Communist Manifesto, the
most celebrated pamphlet in the history of the socialist
movement. He also was the author of the movement’s most
important book, Das Kapital. These writings and others by Marx
and Engels form the basis of the body of thought and belief known
as Marxism.
