#2This isn't a curated list. This is an empty list. It has almost no content. None of the links do anything. I can't understand why it's posted here when it has so little work done and so much work yet to be done.
I hope it grows, of course, but mostly I hope it grows to include people who aren't a handful of western white men.

#3This list is exclusively of western philosophers.
If you want to step into the world of philosophy at any time period or in any part of the world, I highly recommend the podcast "A History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps" by Peter Adamson.

#4Such a list would also benefit from being explicit about translations (particularly in the case of Kant and Nietzsche) for those who can't read them in their original. Unfortunately, the public domain versions tend to have grievous errors that often misconstrue the authors' intentions.

Indeed, and the books aren't in any order as far as I can tell. Nor are they categorized by theme.

#6I find modern philosophy papers to be far more interesting, readable and concise than some of these texts, which are often pretty circuitous. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a good site that curates good papers.

#7Weird list. Unless you have a PhD in philosophy, good luck reading some of these without some serious help. How about some good commentaries that make some of these books intelligible for the average person? People get PhDs in prestigious philosophy departments for making some kind of sense of just one of these books.

#8As others have already mentioned, this is a fairly shallow list of more or less just the most popular Philosophers in a decidely western Germanic tradition (excepting maybe Lacan). I think some diversity as well as inclusion of lesser known thinkers (whose thought is perhaps more specialized to particular branches of philosophy) would improve it.

You might like the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, which is usually my first stop when digging into a new thinker.
For example, here's the article on Marx: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/marx/
A friend who is pursuing a BA in Philosophy says it's the only online source that they are allowed to cite.

It's a GitHub hosted shared document, open to all. Feel free to add as many others as you'd like!
I've been enjoying ancient Chinese proverbs lately, such as:
"It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness"
