Who are Zhuang Zhou, Kang Youwei, and Yan Hui? Can someone please clarify for me what in hell Montesquieu did?

Mo Tzu was the founder of the Mohists, a branch of philosophy dedicated to war. Mencius, IIRC, was a philosopher in the Hundred Schools of Thought. Han Feizi I know of only by name. Sima Qian was a historian during the Han Dynasty, wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals, emperor was an asshole so he had Qian's legs snapped at the knees.

Xunzi and Zhu Xi were some sort of monks and thinkers, IIRC. Wasn't Zhu Xi that one guy in the Three Kingdoms?

Kant was an enlightenment era philsopher, along with Hegel (German idealist), Locke (Political Philosophy), and Rosseau (Social Contract dude). Hume, I forgot what he did.

Descartes was a mathmatician, also he came up with "I doubt, so I think, so I am". Unfortunately, it can't prove more than the fact that you have some sort of mental consciousness.

Pretty sure everyone knows who Plato and Aristotle are.
