What do you think?
They don't have to be from the period, they simply have to be the Top 10 influencial figures of the Enlightenment Movement.
What are your wise and learned opinions?
TYIA.
I think we can start with some obvious choices...
John Locke
Thomas Paine
François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
James Madison
Thomas Jefferson
what about,
David Hume?
Sir Isaac Newton?
Benjamin Franklin?
William Wallace?
What is your opinion?

I believe you forgot my man Hobbes?
Lord Alameda - January 30, 2006 05:37 PM (GMT)
Thomas Hobbes is probably more pertinent than William Wallace.
So, (in no particular order)
John Locke
Thomas Paine
François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
James Madison
Thomas Jefferson
David Hume
Sir Isaac Newton
Benjamin Franklin
Thomas Hobbes
What say the masses?

I'm not the biggest fan of Rousseau, or really Hobbes either. :)
I'd say the list is fairly good though.

I guess I'm not the biggest fan of the whole leviathan thing.
