/lit/, what if you made a story where every character was based on a philosopher's philosophy? As in they had already came to the same conclusion and internalized the philosophy, or we got to seem them do this or abandon the philosophy.

Which philosophies would be the most interesting to watch/read? Nietzsche: N-no Schopenhauer! Its the will to power, not the will to nothingness! B-b-baka!

>> No.3171012

Freud and Nietzsche would be fun characters

Also I would throw in Thoreau cuz who doesn't want a hermit character

also (from left field) Lao Tzu he would win

I am indeed referring to the homolust wars that will come from this fine novel

Which philosophers would you include?

Maybe throw in Judith Butler to be teased about her appearance

Heidegger because he is an asshole. Hed be the character that told everyone off and everyone one hated, but deep down he has daddy problems or something.

Sartre would his little bitch that would follow him around everywhere.

Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard for DARK AND EDGY. Freud so they could hate on him.

Plato can be the teacher, Aristotle will be the teachers pet.

Kant will be someones asshole dad.

Ayn Rand will make an appearance, once, and be immediately shut out and ignored by everyone

Diogenes of Sinope, motherfuckers.

>> No.3171056

Not a philosopher per se, but Darwin would be interesting. Gotta have Nietzsche and the rest ripping on him.

Also Diogenes, for shits and giggles. Class clown sort of? I feel like he'd be a stoner, but I have no real intellectual reason to support this.

Gotta have the Buddha going through all the stages of his enlightenment. A jock who parties and bangs chicks in his first stage, and so on.

Wittgenstein would be the 7 year old kid that's in 9th grade due to being a genius and skipped ahead.

Working on an outline as we speak.

Whats the scenario? I like my highschool slice of life schtick, anything we could add to it, or a better idea overall?

Also women philosophers we should have in here? Or better yet taking a male philosophers philosophy, and have a girl personify it . So then, who should be so lucky?

A South Park-type scenario would be pretty sick.

If you're going to have a male philosophy personified as a woman, I'd go with Oscar Wilde's aestheticism.

That sounds like what Hetalia tried to do. Fuck you.

Whoever will be free must make himself free. Freedom is no fairy gift to fall into a man's lap. What is freedom? To have the will to be responsible for one's self, 'cause you can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work.

I never noticed that the German team included the noted philosopher Beckenbauer ("a bit of a surprise there") . That's funny.
