What are some interesting or unusual philosophies?

What are some interesting or somewhat unheard of philosopers/philosohies. I need to do a research for my philosophy class but I don't know which topic I should choose. I wasthink about talking about the religious philosophy of Santeria, but I am really open to all other suggestions.

Solipsism, can get very interesting.

Solipsism, like other skeptical hypotheses, is likely impossible to refute. Likewise, the core assertion of materialism — that there is an external universe — is also impossible to refute. Although some recent work in physics (EPR experiments) is suggestive, it is likely that solipsism and materialism are impossible to differentiate empirically.

I wouldn't do a religion, with a few exceptions, religions are based on different grounding than philosophies. There is a lot of overlap, but I don't think Santaria would be part of it. Santaria is pretty interesting, though. I did a report on it for a high school spanish class once.
Some of the presocratics are pretty weird. Check out Parmenides. He believed change was impossible.

check out Bishop George Berkeley and his views on "reality". he basically says that it doesn't exist outside of our own minds. and it is directly channeled in by God himself instantaneously. its crazy. might wanna look into it.
