Of course, it misses out the philosophers, but they appear in the “western philosophy” list. Since aristotle, plato, descartes and hume all appear in the top ten of that list, it seems that the only odd ones out in my list are bacon, darwin and socrates.
But, a larger list will not hurt us. So I’ll throw in the top ten from combined sciences, and the top ten from philosophy. Corr, that’s going to be quite some work to do…
OK, that’s an interesting list.
