10. Epicureans (58%)
11. Ockham (57%)
12. Jean-Paul Sartre (48%)
13. Stoics (47%)

16. Cynics (37%)
17. Nietzsche (35%)
18. David Hume (31%)
19. Thomas Hobbes (10%)
I find this interesting on several levels. First, I was intrigued to notice that St. Augustine was so far down the list; I guess my low-priority on asceticism had something to do with that. Thomas Aquinas surprised me, but then, I'm familiar with him more in the historical sense than the philosophical sense, so I guess I'll have to look him up again. John Stuart Mill did not surprise me; I half-expected him to be first. Also, I suppose the 18% difference between me and Aristotle comes down primarily to a difference of opinion on the place of women in the world. (Though there were no questions on that - he probably would have been lower, if there had been.)
Interesting.
