Answer 1

If I remember correctly, Cicero was a pretty big influence on Classical Liberalism, though I wouldn't say he is one. I'm surprised John Stewart Mill isn't up here. I would love to read John Locke, any recommendations on where to start?

Answer 2

I Don't recognize anyone of these names besides Sargon

Answer 3

How about Voltaire?

Answer 4

Benedict Spinoza

Answer 5

Heidegger but sargon is a close second!

Answer 6

How do you want to define "greatness"? and who is counted as a philosopher - only a philosopher, or an economist, what's about psychologists and writers?
