If you had 6 months to train any 6 philosophers into the ultimate military team, on a level with the A-Team or the top henchman in a Bond movie or the SAS in a Garth Ennis comic, who would you choose and why?
You can pick any philosopher living or dead and pluck them from the prime of their life to be inducted into your boot camp. You have unlimited resources to train them but only 6 months. Who? Who?
Adrian Walker
Can I pick Socrates 6 times?
Jordan Evans
No you have to choose 6 different people.
Blake Long

socrates @ field leader rawls @ communications wittgenstein @ combat engineering jl austin @ superspy nietzsche @ heavy weapons sunzi @ the guy with a plan

Nolan Mitchell
Is this book translated into English. I like philosophy and cute girls.
An A-team has 12 members and is useless without a B-team.

Alexander Taylor
Plato, Socrates, Epictetus, Aristotle, Plotinus and Marcus Aurelius. They were all prolly in good physical shape.
David Bennett
I choose the pragmatists and one wild card absurdist
Zachary Moore
Socrates as team leader? Are you fucking nuts? Nothing would get accomplished. He would lay down endless questions and hypotheticals, he would show up late and get lost in thought.
Jaxon Hughes
behold: brainlets in charge of reading biographies
Xavier Reyes

>haidega you mean Heidegger.
>And here’s the chapter breakdown:
>Chapter 1, Descartes: proving the existence of God is that all >Chapter 2, Spinoza: man is the greatest for man ditto >Chapter 3, Berkeley and Hume: to exist is to be aware but one is an immaterialist >Chapter 4, Kant: the starry heaven above me and morality within me well they had to choose a topic >Chapter 5, Hegel: the world is an infinite progression towards wisdom wisdom wouldn't be his first choice of words >Chapter 6, Nietzsche: God is dead, but nothing has changed you sure about that >Chapter 7, Heidegger: without a world, we do not exist, without us, the world does not exist, we are not alone”. ex nihilo omnia, best girl :3
>As the blog Feminist Philosophers noted, it could be potentially productive for young readers to see a traditionally “male” activity being performed by girly girls. never change

Cameron Bell
user... lay off the seals
Luis Cruz
>Wittgenstein - interrogation >he invents a language game where the only permissible words are enemy classified information
Aaron Robinson
Leader: Sun Tzu Second in command: Socrates Dualies: Miyamoto Musashi The Wildcard: Max Stirner The Nut Job: Julius Evola Guy who is obviously the main character: Friedrich Nietzsche
Landon Williams
Evola: raider captain Plato: second in command Nietzsche: cavalry captain Camus: suicide missions Socrates: commander Diogenes: dives down Charlie tunnels and comes back with severed ears
Jaxson Gonzalez
>Camus: suicide missions kek
Stirner is certain to betray the team.
James Gray
nietzsche, guitarri, mao, lenin, zizek and badiou
Ian Cooper
Epictetus was crippled (but manly) and I can't imagine that Plotinus would have been in good shape user...
Matthew Ramirez
I don't think he would to be honest.
That all depends on why the team was assembled in the first place.
If it's in his interest to play ball then there should be no problem.
Charles Garcia
What the fuck is Zizek gonna do? Get drunk and tell Mongol jokes? Join the enemy as an act of revolutionary revolutionary counter-protest?
Juan Jones
this
Hudson Miller
you people are idiots
zizek is one of the most radical philosophers since marx
Asher Miller
But where is the best girl?
Luis Long
What is radical about him?
James Hall
Not all philosophers would necessarily be able to be transformed into great military squad members. I for one would rather go with a more solid pick.
Grayson Lee
His allergies *sniff sniff sniff*, and so on.
Tyler Cook
Wittgenstein nearly pulled a child's ear off - he's not shy to torture
Joshua Smith
Is a ghost and one of the seven mysteries of the school.
Gabriel Morgan
Best plan is to favor ancient Greek philosophers. Anybody picking Nietzsche is just flat wrong. Wittgenstein I would allow for being a good pick because he actually saw war.
>this is some reddit-tier autism thread said the autistic redditor

What about 6 Socrates but all of them are diverse in color.
If you deny this, you're racist OP

What is this LN
Jack Flores
Team Leader: Hegel Second in Command: Evola Main Offensive Member: Ernst Junger Main Defensive Member: Sun Tzu Saboteur/Wild Card: Max Stirner Scout/Stealth: Wittgenstein
Hegel's wisdom and natural teacher/authority skills would give him the ability to guide the others, Evola would be an incredibly loyal and strong second in command given his lifestyle and experiences, Junger was a veteran and warrior who knew combat and could easily take on any combat operation, Sun Tzu was a brilliant commander so leaving defense to him seems natural, Max Stirner plays a part because of his nature and general attitude towards spooks giving him the natural role of saboteur ruining the team's oppositions plans and strategies, and Wittgenstein being as autistic he is and his experience would make him an excellent spy and scout.

Good team.

Why not put Wittgenstein on comms?
Kayden Fisher
this but Marcus Aurelius instead of Hegel and priest Kierkegaard to absolve the dying of sins.
