moustapha akkad if your reading this i am a big halloween fan ive been watching it for years. I hope that you please make the halloween 9 or the halloween 10 to be Leatherface Vs. Micheal Myers: The Halloween Chainsaw Massacre . The would be the ultimate gift to me. michael and pinhead or jason would suck. I know its just a rumor for now that its even coming out but please if you can make it happen i would greatly appreciate it. i even have a plot for it Dr. Loomis orders Michael from a maximum security prison to mexico to await to get executed but on the way michael kills all the guards and they end up in texas where michael meets the sawyers and leatherface. meanwhile killing other bystandards micheal and leatherface battle it off to the finish what a movie that would be. Laurie Strode son is the nephew of michael myers so he gets scared every halloween but her son wants to marry the girl who survived the texas chainsaw massacre killings back in 78. And they both are in for the time of their lives while they get michael myers and leatherface face to face to bury their nightmares for good.

Who is your favourite philosopher(s) and why?

Mine are Plato (his theory of Forms is immaculate, as it touches on the very essence of being and the paradox of the absolute) and Nietzsche for his incredibly sensible moral philosophy, views on society, ideas on truth and interpretation, view on Christianity, and many more inspiring ideas.

Who are yours?

"generally. his point of view is in the flow of existentialism."

I believe that most of us are inspired by philosophers and their views. What is your favourite philosopher and why?

I have read about this philosopher by the name of Krishnamurti. The best part of him is that he does not want to acknowledge himself as a philosopher and even rejected the world teacher award. A great guy right.

Victor Von Doom
I always liked Heidegger.

EsteemedLeader
My vote is for George Carlin.

house

Victor Von Doom
I found it quite easy, not sure of the success rate of anyone else.

I am a fan of Kafka. Aristotle is great as is Karl Marx. Marx was awesome - his philosophy does not work in practice, but its flawless on paper.

I like Marx in theory, as well, but he underestimated the power of capitalism. It doesn't detract from a compelling argument, but I find Foucault more useful in trying to understand the flow of power.

If you are looking at Marx's theory in relation to power, however, a useful concept, hegemony, was developed by Antonio Gramsci, another Marxist
