Whose personality is the most famous in philosophy?

One answer Off the top of my head, I'd go with Nietzsche, but it's not something it's possible to quantify... An additional answer It's unlikely that there is a single answer everyone would accept. However, philosophy, like the rest of modern civilization, came out of the Axial Age. In the West, the first great philosopher was Plato. However, we know little about Plato's personality. On the other hand, Plato made Socrates the central character in his dialogues. From those dialogues (as well as from some other less valuable sources), we obtain a lot of understanding about the kind of person Socrates was. So, at least in the West, the philosopher with the most famous personality was Socrates. He was Plato's paradigm of a philosopher. The word "philosopher" means "lover of wisdom." Socrates dedicated his life to the pursuit of wisdom. In fact, his steadfast pursuit of philosophy cost him his life. He thought of himself as an intellectual midwife who assisted his students in giving birth to their ideas. He followed the argument wherever it led, and, unlike the Sophists, he never made any money by helping others. He encouraged and challenged those with whom he spoke to examine their lives more carefully. There is not a more famous personality in the history of western philosophy
