I'm just curious peter12, if you had to name one or two papers or works that had the most influence on you philosophically, what would they be?

Hey evman, I just want to be clear that there was no spite intended. It's just harmless boasting on my part, and I was obviously trying to antagonize you. So please, it's not personal at all.
Two thinkers... hmmm... or perhaps books?
Plato's Republic, and Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil. Perhaps, Strauss' On Tyranny as well, especially the Kojeve bits.
I'm really not much of a neoliberal at all.
EDIT: Selections from Rousseau's Emile, and Letter to M. D'Alembert as well.
Clearly, quite radical, and I definitely see a massive gap in my understanding of Aristotle. But I also lean far towards classical and continental thought. I take it you do more analytical?
