Say we had enough time, resources, and skill to write a history of philosophy that could border on 10K pages over ~10 volumes of 1k pages each. What are some lesser-known but important philosophers you would like to see make it in? And in case they're very unknown, tell more about them and their work (where to begin with them, etc).
You'll be interested in Peter Adamson's history of philosophy podcast, which he fleshes out as books. He's gotten up to the English reformation.
Maybe, though I don't just want to copy it exactly. My impression is that podcast goes deep into each individual that could possibly be included and that's even more in-depth than a 10k page 10-book series would be. I do have a list of about 450 names prepared for such a series, but without revealing it I'm just curious if anyone can share specific rare philosophers I might have missed but could be interested in.
>podcast
Basically telling me it’s a moron narcissist working for an even dumber audience
I don't know, I think that one philosophy wiki to get anons on something other than "start with the greeks" would be cooler than 10k pages.
Arthur Collier
Carl du Prel
CFA Eschenmeyer
These guys are interesting anon, how'd you stumble on them? Tell me more. Here's what I can find from a Google search:
>Collier
A second Berkeley but a little late?
>Eschenmeyer
I'm guessing you mean Adam Karl August von Eschenmeyer cause I couldn't find a CFA Eschenmeyer. So he's kin with Schelling (and the earlier Holderlin with his nondualism), and even uses Laruelle's also-nondualist language of "nonphilosophy"? He sounds more interesting.
>Prel
This guy sounds particularly interesting, apparently he's similar to James (in Varieties of Religious Experience). Reminds me also of a footnote Kierkegaard has about subjective experience being akin to the Kantian practical postulates though a bit different.
>how'd you stumble on them?
wikipedia binges bc autist
I had a huge list of saved wikipedia articles on obscure but interesting philosophers but then my computer crashed (it was very very old since also am poorgay) but if you want to know about mord I'll see what else I can remember).
i forgot about this guy. he's really interesting too: Friedrich Ludewig Bouterwek
>forgot about picrel
Ngmi
It's ok he's in the master list
Sheikh uthaymeen is probably the best modern islamic theologian his book Commentary on Al-Aqidah Al-Wasitiyyah would be interesting to study. Peter Adamson leaves out mostly all islamic knowledge and theology so it's a little gap to fill.
I was thinking of doing the same concept OP however I would pick a language write a modern history of philosophy of the country (Spain) and let readers decide if they wanted to learn the language for the philosophy. I would like to how you percieve the problem of the philosophy becoming outdated by advances in science or greater philosophers which render previous philosophy useless?
I forgot to say I'm limiting myself to western philosophy. I'm still okay including Islamic philosophy since I know much of it is Platonistic or Aristotelian and is thus connected to the Greek tradition directly. It's the same reason I'm okay including the Kyoto School. I've got Al-Kindi, Al-Farabi, Avicenna, Al-Ghazali, Averroes, Suhrawardi and Mulla Sadra.
And what languages do you know? And which languages are you going to study? It seems much easier to do an ethnography than learn 3 to 4 languages your brain is going to get tired. And also which philosophy are you going to believe in? If you don't believe in any philosophy it's literally creating magic systems in your head.
English, Spanish, some French. After that it's just some words in German, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Arabic. I'd like to at least learn good French and German since that's what I would profit from most right now.

Well if you need to know, I'm working out my own views for my dissertation.
Copleston doesn't go past Nietzsche, Russell, and Sartre. He has a bit of discussion at the end of his final volumes on stuff like Heidegger, Levi-Strauss, and Wittgenstein.
Oft topic, but: I really think the artist who made that wojak meme is a genius
Arnold Gehlen
Ludwig Klages
Joachim Ritter
Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde
Leo Shestov
With Copleston and Historisches Wörterbuch der Philosophie existing what you‘re trying to do or at least made one thread for seems completely obsolete.
