Muh reason

This expression indicates a rationalist's confusion and lack of noumena. When confronted with phenomena he cannot apprehend or respond to, rationalists mumble, "Muh reason" or "Muh reason a priori." This is usually followed by analytical-synthetic distinctions and mind-matter dualism.

Leibniz because I like daring pluralists who come up with daring novel views. Spinoza's monism is overdone by everyone in history, and Descartes' views end up being way too close to "Common sense was right all along!" so Leibniz immediately comes out on top.

Descartes because he's a pleasure to read, he's upsetting to freshmen who think they're smart, and unlike Spinoza he did actual geometry and satisfactorily proved things.

Leibniz. The other two were hacks who got filtered by the fact that existence is not a predicate
