If you had your pick of all philosophers who ever lived, which one would you find most suited for an account on SD.Net?
I personally would invite Wittgenstein, mostly because of his intense knowledge of logic, his interesting viewpoints on art, culture and religion, and his skeptical view of the world in general. And I am most certain that he would fit in nicely, though he may at some point be labeled an attention whore.

I fear Wittegenstien wouldnt last long, as he'd probably get sick of the drunken python song references being trotted out every time he got on someones nerves...

The Wachowskis so I can observe so many varieties of flamefest.

Nietzsche might be fun to have on here. either him or Machiavelli, one of my personal favorites.

Locke would be great in N&P...

Socrates would rock. He'd probably cause endless flamewars with the empiricists here, but it'd be great to watch.

I'd like to see Hobbes. Leviathan is just a classic.
Kant might be interesting, too.

And Any Rand, just for flaming fun

I agree with Locke.

Bertrand Russel would be cool.

You are implying that they are philosophers. DIE!

Aistotle would be interesting.

Aristotle would be interesting.

Aye, he'd probably be a bit shocked with female equality though.

Probably, but then again he would have no problem with the scientific rationalists here, and would love to see his logic put to good use.

I can just imagine Mike calling Socrates a fucking shitstain.

I can imagine the mike banning him for trolling Calling socrates on logical fallacies would kick so much ass.

ROFL..

I wonder which one, though, would be least shocked by the continuous references to anal sex, masturbation, toys, fetishes and the like?

Thomas Paine would probably fit in pretty well.

Carl Marx would be fun in S&L

Yes, so we could break out the flamethrowers and flame him massively.

Socrates, probably. They were pretty open about that stuff back then.

Was Descartes the one that said he could concieve of something perfect, therefore it exists?

If so, I choose him.

Probably true there.. wonder if he could handle how in depth it's all discussed, though..

Emmanuel Kant wrote 'The logic of Pure Reason", correct? He'd be interesting to have around.

*points to a post above*

I did Just for flaming purposes, of course

And for nitpicking of the day:
It is:
Karl Marx and Immanuel Kant, and he wrote "Critique of Practical Reason" (Kritik der reinen Vernunft)
