Etienne Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 http://homepages.nyu.edu/~iav202/powers/powers.html Immanuel Kant1724-1804 Nationality: Prussian Group Alliances: "Terrible" Transcendental Idealists "Destructive" Deontologists "Contemptible" Constructivists AKA: Hometown Manny The Punctual Prussian The Virgin The Categorical Imperator I've Fallen and I Kant Get Up The Greatest Modern Philosopher Powers: follows rules well, can leap as high as hundreds of times his own height Weaknesses: sometimes seen as overly critical Notes: This figure is, of course, only the phenomenal Kant toy. The deluxe version, Noumenal Self® Kant, is available only on special order and costs $339.95 (plus tax and S&H). The reader may wonder, "Why is Kant blue with red tiger stripes?" Well, why twelve categories? I don't know. It was decided that a toy representing as important a philosopher as Kant ought to be unique in some way, that there ought to be some kind of toyly manifestation of his philosophical greatness. Blue with red tiger stripes was deemed sufficiently bad ass. Aristotle384-322 B.C.E. Nationality: Greek Group Alliances: "Angry" Ancients "Vicious" Virtue Ethicists AKA: Careless Aristotle "Spare Us" Aristotle Aris-Total Destruction "Beware His Throttle" Aristotle The Philosopher Powers: walking Weaknesses: some people think maybe he could have taught Alexander the Great a little more about diplomacy Notes: The high quality of this product is ensured by the four causes at work in the manufacture of the toy: the plastic, the assembly line robots, the designers' creative ideas, and the profit from retail sales to spoiled children. Also, the following reasoning establishes that children will love the Aristotle action figure: All Philosophical Powers® figures are totally awesome. This toy is a Philosophical Powers® figure. Therefore, this toy is totally awesome.
