If you could have dinner with any philosopher, who would it be? My choices are as follows: God Jesus Christ, former United States President Barack Obama, and former South African President Nelson Mandela. Although these individuals are not philosophers but I will be honored to have dinner with these people. As far as a philosopher is concerned, I will have to say Plato. Thank you for allowing me to answer this question to the best of my ability. I will have to inform everyone that I have food allergies. My food allergies are as follows: shrimp onions, pineapples, coconut grapefruit mushrooms, and tomatoes.
