If you had to bring one philosopher back to help interpret our

>>8536051
Jesus
Imagine how many things it would settle.

Interesting question. My favorite philosophers are Kant and Wittgenstien, but I honestly don't know if they'd have much more to say, since what they said is so universal/not topical.

Maybe Nietzsche?

>>8536054
how fucking hard would liberal and neocon christians hate on jesus? how many of them would accuse him of being a bigot and the antichrist?

>>8536070
they pretty much did the same thing when he was alive

>>8536070
The trick is Jesus's recurrence would entail the apocalypse too.

>>8536070

The funny thing is that in Christianity an actual return of Jesus could be interpreted as the coming of the Antichrist.

So there is no saving for monotheists and I don't think it's meant to. Jews will conveniently deny the Messiah has come until our planet is consumed by the sun. Christians will constantly be paranoid about some charismatic leader as being the devil incarnate.
Too many clauses which allow it to perpetuate itself and stall the endtimes.

>>8536051
maybe nietzsche so people may listen to him this time

I'd assassinate Hegel in a heartbeat if I could

I'd assassinate you first.

Confucius.
He would probably be an admin on r/AsianMasculinity and occassionally sperg out over Asian women lusting for white dick.

It would necessarily be an antichrist. Scripture and tradition tell us that the Revelation will be unmistakable.

>>8536170

Christians are fucking retarded in identifying the actual Antichrist.
It has been anybody now. From Stalin to Bush to Obama.
It's like an ancient checks-and-balances paranoia where every leader with too much charisma is suspected of being demonic so he doesn't overreach too much and gets a backlash.

Rudolf Steiner or Christopher Hitchens

Inb4 not philosophy

>>8536178
i'd love to hear hitch's take on this year's election. hs thompson's too.

>>8536183
Agreed with both statements.

>>8536051
Plato, no doubt. He's the most influential philosopher in the history of western civilization and, in consequence, the world. I'd like to see what he has to say after some years of studying and updating.

Curious, what interests you about Steiner? You're not an anthroposophist, are you?

>>8536070
It would actually be the conservatives who would hate on him. "It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to come into heaven." "If someone slaps your cheek, show him the other one."
Jesus was basically a socialist and a pacifist before that even existed.

My man Nietzsche.

I'm not sure how he'd react to the Last Man having triumphed in the century that followed his death, however.

Deleuze

Schopehnauer. For the classical german philosopher he had a great deal of the common sense and a lot of style. And the modern scientific results should leave him away from the biggest bullshits

Also a good choice. Not sure how happy he'd be to have been proven right about women, though...

The most misunderstood and interesting philosopher of the 20th C.

It's because it's made up fairy-tale bullshit.

He'd probably just use them to further justify his beliefs. He did it with the science of his day.

His beliefs are pretty much ok, but he didn't trust science as much as he should have, for example to explain biology. And so he got lost in the depths of buddhist spirituality.

I'd bring him to san francisco. How do you think he would react?

>>8537257
Carthage was practically San Francisco, he'd be somewhat familiar.

>>8536238
diogenes ftw. he also insisted that when he dies his body should be thrown to the woods so that animals can rip his dead cadaver to shreds, just because he was such a based fucking edgelord
