After the little fun we had with “philosophical break up lines”:http://tar.weatherson.org/archives/000979.html, David Chalmers is promoting a new game. “Match the philosopher with their theme song”:http://www.arizonaphilosophy.com/index.php?p=42. Here are some of the samples so far.

Parmenides – _One_ (U2)
John Rawls – _… And Justice For All_ (Metallica)
V. I. Lenin – _Children of the Revolution_ (T-Rex)

You get the idea, though I think the last one would be better as Kuhn than Lenin. (At least it’d be a philosopher then.) I’m always dreadful at these games. In this casea I can do better with coming up not entirely work-related songs, none of which are exactly on topic.

Descartes – _Elizabeth My Dear_ (Stone Roses)
Elliot Sober – _Come Back From San Francisco_ (Magnetic Fields)
REDACTED – _I Wanna Be Adored_ (Stone Roses)
REDACTED – _Step Into My Office, Baby_ (Belle and Sebastian)

Oops, it seems my lawyers stopped me saying something in those last two cases. Oh well, I’ll leave it to you to fill in the blanks. (But not in my comments – I closed comments here so the suggestions would go to “Dave’s post”:http://www.arizonaphilosophy.com/index.php?p=42.)
