Decartes vs Locke

[Bono]

As per Goldie's request:

I would vote Kant. I think better philosopher vs. philosopher polls could be thought of, though. With maps!

There'll be more coming.

I vote for Locke, as Decartes himself admited his logic may very well be flawed.

Write-in: Thomas Paine!

I vote Locke; the whole life, liberty, and property phrase beats all.  Descartes is still very good, but does make some logical flaws despite being father of modern philosophy.  I mean he uses circular reasoning to prove God's existance.

Although Locke certainly isn't perfect, he beats the inane idiocy of Descartes any day.

Empiricism rules.
