Back from the Dead

This thread is utter horse-shit. The OP does not give a flying fuck about your answers, hence why she didn’t even respond to any. She made this thread as a sort of " Ah-Ha! " thing, because she has been gone for awhile and " came back from the dead", so to speak . She came back to ILP for two reasons: 1. to comment on my threads and 2. to try to rev-vive the " Fuck Thyself " forum, because Satyr is getting lonely and bored.

Or perhaps 3: she’s trying to get away from all of you who are trying to sexualise her, and to be her own person?

Could be possible.

If you could call back a famous philosopher or any other back from the dead that you think we could/need today, who would it be and why?

Good question!
So, folks:
Lys asked for philosophers!
Jesus, Hieronymus Bosch, Leonardo da Vinci, Einstein, David Lewis (even totally unknown!) were NO philosophers!

David Lewis is well known to everyone who is important in philosophy today.

The only philosopher I could call back from the dead conceivably is Svengali, since what greater philosopher could defy the world of the sense [literally liberate himself from the chains of determined position of the self] then someone who could defy the proposition that reality trumps illusion? The other would be Bishop Berkely, who actually defied the world of the senses, giving very plausible reasons for it.

Leibniz is one of the few philosophers for whom I can without remorse say that I’m glad he’s dead and I’d rather he stays dead too.

Haha! Why do you say that? I never liked him much, but he was also brilliant.

One philosopher?

Oh, that’s not easy to say …

… Perhaps … (… … [-o< … …) … (… …) … Heraklit …!

Because of the “fire” as the “logos” …!

Who the fuck cares about that. I found the topic more or less interesting, there are other people beside the OP you know.

In some areas, he was, yes. Read his thoughts on morality if you have the stomach.

Some tinkering in the semantics of modal logic… was about it.

Hi von. I don’t think you’re statement negates mine.

Hi von. I don’t think you’re statement negates mine.

Nobody who is important in philosophy today would bring Lewis back from the dead, first. Or second. Or fiftieth. He died recently, right?

[Mr_Reasonable]

2003 I think. I disagree. Is Hilary Putnam still alive? Or Kripke? Or Robert Stalnaker? I bet they’d bring him back. Plantinga is probably glad he’s dead.
