Great Thinkers, Great Thinking

Great ideas start with great thinking. ThinkWorks' Great Thinkers, Great Thinking series is a collection of vignettes about the people and the thinking that have changed the world in small and large ways. Regardless of the idea, innovation or invention, first, someone had to think it. Do you have an example of great thinkers or great thinking that you'd like to see on our site?
