Darwin was a scientist, not a philosopher. OK, Dostoyevsky, Notes from the Underground, just about covers the basic tenets about believing what you experience, but he was a novelist. Nietzsche mostly wrote aphorisms tearing at the conventional thinking. Give me a break with Kierkegaard. Yes, in his actions he was an existentialist. But he was hung up on religious thinking. Husserl was the father. He started phenomenology. And Heidegger took it from there. Sartre just profited from plagiarizing cause France was on the winning side, while Heidegger got ostracized as a "Nazi." The French are lousy philosophers. Americans are worse. That's why we can't tell truth from propoganda anymore.
