From episode 16 - The Gates Of Judgement (at around 16:10), Shogo Makishima said:

Justice is subject to dispute; might is easily recognized and is not disputed. So we cannot give might to justice,

In return, Shinya Kogami replied:

I have long since learned, as a measure of elementary hygiene, to be on guard when anyone quotes Pascal.

So the answer is Blaise Pascal.

By the way, Kogami's reply is actually a quote from Toward a Philosophy of History by José Ortega y Gasset.
