The Greatest Thinker in the World- ever

...is certainly not David Hume, much as this article argues. Hume? Never.

Despite having only a serious layman's interest in philosophy- and having devoured a bit of Hegel, Schopenhauer, Plato, even Sartre and Camus, and Will Durant and Russel's populars on philosophy, besides reading works on Charvaka and some Upanishads, this Reader is not impressed. Frankly, I did not even notice Hume anytime except perhaps in Materialism and Empirio Criticism (and I could be mistaken)...

My vote? Needless to say...
