skill testing question:part1

who are the 5 philosophers in the ILP picture to the upper right?
and if u know anything about them,tell as much background as you will.
(maybe 5 sentances to be sporting.)

well i already know the 2nd(from the left) is carl marx,father of communism,but i dont know about what happend to him in his life.

once more:

wittgenstein… the limits of my language are the limits of my world…

marx… an economist not a true philosopher…

socrates… life is a disease

russell… logically my dear watson

nietzsche… god is dead

-Imp

A different take:

Wittgenstein - mainly did philosophy

Marx - bourgeois hypocrite extraordinaire

Socrates - was convicted of corrupting the young

Russell - slept with his stepdaughter

Nietzsche - went barmy

All are interesting writers, of sorts

you know guys, this question would be more skill testing if you botherd to write more than 1 fact about them,or put links to a site(s) that had info. about thier biography on record. :confused:

for accuracy’s sake, please change the title to “pointless esoteric knowledge test” (ok maybe you dont really have to change it)

sorry, i just dont like philosophy books, im too smart for them. usually this is where i insert some self deprecation. unfortunately for you dorks, not this time.

Find it out yourself. We’ve got other things to do…
