Imagine that Hume, Kant, and Thoreau need a fourth person at the table

The deal is I got a Barnes & Noble gift card for Father's Day. I
already know you motherfuckers are smart and funny, what I was hoping
was that someone smart and helpful would pop up - and it could still
happen, right? I'm looking to read a book either by or about another
dead, white, European man. Someone who might fit as an answer to my
original question and/or be a good answser for this fill-in-the-blank:
Hume, Kant, and _______. I suppose Nietzsche is a good and fitting
suggestion, and I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I
really thought that I had previously settled on a third philospher to
read (either primary or secondary source) after Hume and Kant - who
would be appropriate to read before Nietzshe - I just forgot who it
was. I guess if the "answer" isn't obvious to you folks, then my
forgotten choice wasn't really a good one. This is all new to me, I
don't pretend to know much, if anything, and I don't pretend to
understand and/or be using these terms correctly, but what I'm looking
for is naturalist, humanist and/or non-religious foundations /
orgins / examination of/for morality, consciousness, etc.
