Not sure what the topic is exactly, but Kant is always pretty interesting, Descartes is fun to tear apart, Nietzsche is pretty wild, Camus is the epitome of cool, if you're more interested mathematical philosophy Bertrand Russel or Georg Cantor are pretty sweet, and you know those mathematicians usually go insane. In terms of just life story or whatever, Blaise Pascal is pretty interesting especially after he loses his marbles. I can probably come up with more if you like, do you actually have to talk about their philosophical views (and compare them to something else?) or are you taking more of a historical/biographical perspective?
