4. I agree with some of those
Foucault I don't really that well. I admired Bertrand Russell when I was a teenager, but came to think less of him over the years. I don't really like Bentham.

I like Rousseau, but don't consider his thinking is disciplined enough to call philosophy.

Some I would add:

Kant
Schopenhauer
Kierkegaard
Husserl
Heidegger
Aristotle
