As I was standing in the checkout line of my local grocery store, I found myself staring at the dozen or so magazines on display. As I gazed upon the various photos and headlines praising or trashing the celebrity du jour, I got to thinking.
What kind of celebrity would Socrates be if he were alive today? How would we treat him?
In what way would he ask his questions in the 21st century? He never wrote much of anything -- we know his ideas mostly through the work of his student, Plato.
Would he give speeches? Would he have televised debates? Would he have his own talk show? If so, who would be his guests?
Socrates was famous in his day. He was loved and admired for his ideas and his relentless questioning, and he was despised for the same things. Like all celebrities, he had his fans and he had his detractors.
Socrates himself said, "I am utterly disturbing and I create only perplexity." He understood his role as a provocateur, but he also had the best of intentions. He simply wanted to give people the opportunity to question themselves in order to become better humans.
Well, there are a lot of celebrities who push our buttons, but we don't tend to think of them as philosophers!
What if we did? What if we could be nonjudgmental enough to separate the thoughts from the thinkers? We tend to dismiss the whole package--the persona--instead of taking a good look at revolutionary or inflammatory ideas. We marginalize our radical thinkers.
The rapper Eminem is a radical thinker, though many would say he is just plain radical. In his way, he is true to himself. He has broken through to mainstream consciousness because he touched a nerve--and got a lot of press.
Would Socrates be a rapper today? Would he be a professor? A performance artist? How would we regard him?
He was notoriously unattractive. Would photographers surround him, taking photos to sell to the tabloids? Would we care about him if he didn't make it on the cover of our favorite magazines?
At first glance, it may seem that we are sorely lacking in philosophers today. Perhaps we have an outdated idea of what a philosopher looks like. Not all philosophers have beards!
