I think there's a difference between "all philosophers throughout history" and someone whose writings western philosophy is founded on.
If that's the case, though, he's still wrong. In the modern day, you have the radial deconstructions, who'll tell you everything is subjective, including "a = a," and the philosophers that the US State Department hires to consider questions like "what grants a state legitimacy in the eyes of the governed?" which can't be separated from emotional issues.
