By popular demand, your chance to rank order the important philosophers from the early modern era through the 20th-century.  The top vote-getters in the earlier polls are included, plus Rousseau, who was wrongly left off the last poll.  "Important" here means philosophically important, not "influential":  as we know, Ayn Rand wins that one!  Of course, opinions about what is important in philosophy will vary quite a bit (just like opinions about what philosophy is), but that's part of what we're after here.  Have fun!
