I'm still working on my list but I can't believe nobody has listed Bob Haney yet. Come on! Bob Haney! Cei-U had 3 different lists and STILL didn't name Bob Haney...  Traitor!
I'm trying to limit the guest list to people who spoke English so that I could, you know, talk to them. So far the only "for sure" guests are William S. Burroughs and Bob Haney.

John Lennon Elvis Houdini Abraham Lincoln Tom Baker
No idea what I'd be contributing to the conversation though. Probably just trying to explain why I'm there. |

Thinkers:
Nietzsche - I'd be curious to see what he thought of certain scientific discoveries like Relativity and Quantum Theory, which I think he would have found extremely thought-provoking. I think he's be more excited about things like that than about the philosophy that's been done since his death. Also, of course, how he felt about the course of world history after his death, the World Wars, the Nazi period in Germany (and their co-opting of his name), etc.
Karl Marx - would love to hear his analysis of the current economic and political situation and its historical progress from his time to today. And, as a side-issue, what he thought about the whole Soviet era in Russia, Maoist China, and other totalitarian, self-described communist, regimes of the 20th century.
Bertrand Russell - again, would love to hear him talk about geo-politics. I don't think he'd be sympathetic to much of what's happened in Continental philosophy in the late 20th century.
Einstein - wonder what he'd think of modern physics, String Theory, the continuing relevance of Quantum Theory, the experimental confirmation of those aspects of it he disliked, where he thought research should be directed, etc.

Also, of course, how he felt about the course of world history after his death, the World Wars, the Nazi period in Germany (and their co-opting of his name), etc. One of the people thst came to my mind and one of the most interesting philosophers I've ever read. None have kept my attention and keep me in awe like Nietzsche. I very much like "God is Dead" and most of all of "The Madman" as it's often quoted and used, much like some do the bible, for their own purposes. The Gay Science is probably my favorite in that it's just chalk full of interesting observations and estrapulation on the human race and our place in the universe. My second favorite would probably be Thus Spoke Zarsthustra. A great piece of writing that as much entertaining as a novel as it is a piece of philosophy. I haven't read his complete works, but most all his latter writings. I don't think I could even match him in conversation with his intellect. However if Bukowski bowed out ( he was never really a people person, especially media and interviews) I'd probably give it a shot. |

See, I wrote my list assuming that there was some universal translator to go along with the time machine that snatched everyone up. |
