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?

Plato, Socrates, Epictetus, Aristotle, Plotinus and Marcus Aurelius.
They were all prolly in good physical shape.

I choose the pragmatists and one wild card absurdist

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.

>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”.

>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.

Epictetus was crippled (but manly) and I can't imagine that Plotinus would have been in good shape anon...

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.

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.

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.
