there is no answer, since we don't know what the truth is, but we can sure pare down your list. first off, the buddha was not a philosopher. he was a seeker after truth, but not truth revealed by knowledge. he sought after a truth which was revealed to him in enlightenment. secondly, thomas aquinas was only a philosopher in method. he did what philosophers do, he tried to make sense of the world, but since all of his philosophy was based on his belief in god, or at least inextricably tied to it, he did not actually discuss the world around him. kierkegaard was a philosopher, although the quality of his ideas could be debated. therefore, since you have only one full fledged philosopher on your list, I'd probably go with him, just to play the odds.
