This is a very good list, though I would include also (among linguists) John Rupert Firth, Michael Halliday, (and among scholastics/theologians) Nagarjuna, Muhammad al-Bukhari, and Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj. I would also consider adding Bai Xingjian, Frank Jackson, and the pseudonymous author of Jin Ping Mei, Lanling Xiaoxiao Sheng. I am wondering also if the exclusion of John Stuart Mill and Carl Jung is intentional.
