Donna Harroway is a feminist philosopher, who wrote "A Cyborg Manifesto", an essay which uses the metaphor of a cyborg thought experiment to critique traditional feminist "identity politics". She asks us to imagine a cyborg, neither machine or human, genderless, raceless, and without parents. Completely unrooted in historical social groups and tradition, the cyborg society is able to transcend our common politics of groups advocating for the goals of members which belong to any given identity. The Cyborg has no concrete identity.
So, rather than feminism advocating on behalf of "women", which is a set containing a group of individuals with that identity, it is a loose coalition of people with a certain affinities. Like the cyborg, no human being is merely one thing such as a "woman", a "worker", or a "black person". We are an amalgamation of multiple things, many of which are socially constructed or even freely chosen by our creative will, and she thought a politics of the future must reflect our "cyborg" nature.
Thomas Hobbes is best known for believing that we had to submit to a kind of social contract and obey the monarch in order to form society. Edmond Burke was a 17th century conservative thinker who believe we should only change society in small steps. Aristotle represents kind of the polar opposite to something like the Cyborg Manifesto, where he thought everything had an essential essence that represented its ideal form.

Unlike Hegel and Marx, who had more teleological theories of history (meaning they thought history in general moved in a given direction, more or less towards a given thing), Simone Weil thought history was more like biological evolution, where the stronger species survive and the weaker perish in any given environment, nothing is evolving towards anything, and you can't even say that species are "improving" beyond their survivability in their environment.
I was just on the Partially Examined Life podcast, to discuss Weil's ideas. You can listen to it here:

Also...dance a little for me. See? The real dialectic is whoever has the guns makes the rules.

"Now, does anyone here have a theory of metaphysics? Because I would love to see if I could produce more behavior that is socially recognized to indicate pain."

Ludwig Wittgenstein, after finishing Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, went to teach elementary school for six years in rural Austria. Perhaps he thought he could put his philosophy into practice in a sense, and teach children in a new a creative way. However he quickly became disillusioned and wrote to Bertrand Russell:

I know human beings on the average are not worth much anywhere, but here they are much more good-for-nothing and irresponsible than elsewhere.

Apparently he was very demanding, and tried to teach the children math and logic that was quite advanced, and when students got the answer wrong he would administer corporal punishment (not uncommon to the time). Sometimes this went very far, however, and he even knocked an 11 year old boy unconscious, and went to trial.
Wittgenstein was, shall we say, a rather intense individual.

"You know what, screw you guys, you obviously don't get me. Nobody gets me!"

Also...what even is "writing clearly"? I'm not sure it exists.

Wagner: "also, watch out, your friend Paul Ree is a jew."
Nietzsche: "watch out for...what exactly?"
Wagner: "just watch out..."
