Homework Help: Philosophy

Hello can someone help me? Philosophy is such a different language for me, I have been reading for hours and feel like I am from another planet...

I am supposed to write a pursuasive letter to a european philosopher...

Write a persuasive, formal letter to a specific European philosopher. In the letter, argue that this philosopher is incorrect in his or her view about a particular issue.
Provide support from your readings, examples from your experience, and your own analysis to prove the philosopher wrong.

I have been reading for hours and still cannot find a philosopher that I feel that I can argue with... I'm lost.. can someone give me a couple of philopher names and reasons why you disagree with them??

Either of those should give you some arguments.
