#2This list seems to exemplify Alfred Whitehead's statement that "the safest general characterization of the philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato." (With many of those footnotes by Aristotle.)

#3The irony: a page about philosophy displaying unabashed human subjectivity. Feminist philosophy has one entry, wonder why

You think there is a second article on feminist philosophy that is more notable than the average article on this short list?

#7No mention of Peter Singer?
Agree or disagree with his views, Animal Liberation is an important philosophical work due to its impact on contemporary culture.

It depends, really. As a Democritus fanboy I always take "offense" when hearing similar remarks, and I usually try (and fail) to make my point by offering a witty remark which might sound like Hobbes or Epicurus might have said it.
On a more serious note, this list is really bogus when it comes to "ancient Philosophy" because it ignores all the pre-Socratics. Ok, maybe some Sophists were not the most trust-worthy bunch of them all, but you cannot really omit Heraclitus or Democritus himself.
