Not sure I would say deranged lunatics but Diogenes the Cynic and William Buckland are probably the most bizarre intellectuals in history.
Another eccentrics is Gerard de Nerval who use to walk a lobster on a leesh on the streets of Paris and

Another eccentrics is Gerard de Nerval who use to walk a lobster on a leesh on the streets of Paris and According to Wikipedia, Buckland ate Louis XIV's preserved heart! I find that heard to believe.

Aleister Crowley, another "maybe".
William Burroughs. He killed his wife. Accident or not, that counts for something.

He cheated on his dying of cancer wife who ended up killing herself because of his affair that he proudly paraded in front of her. She even mentioned it in her suicide note. Don't make them lower than that. I can't believe my school and others revere and celebrate this asshole.

Byron was called "mad, bad, and dangerous to know."
I am skeptical that Swift was mad when he wrote Gulliver's Travels. Book 4, which is often cited as his craziest, was finished before the Book 3 section.
