@godriczimmerman I guess we disagree about the reasonableness of confident belief in reason and the extent to which faith is justified by perceived limitations of rational discourse or the power of reason our ape species is empowered by. In any case faith in visible, or the bleeding obvious isn't the same and nor does it warrant faith in the unproven, lacking in evidence invisible.
I would add Francis Bacon to the list. People believed him to be the author of Shakespeare's plays for a reason. Other than that, great choices! My personal favourite is Schopenhauer.
