If Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Sartre got together and one were to to ask them a particular question- such as could the time of clocks be changed profitably from numbers to names (i.e. 1=peace, 2=love, 3= happiness etc), they might argue about what names would work best and in what language.
Socrates would ask how they know anything for certain, Sartre would affirm that only God can know if others really exist, Nietzsche would argue that the abyss has no meaning and he is beyond good, evil and pronouns, Hegel could confirm that the evolution of the dialectic would produce the highest relative space-time possible as the Universe realized itself through history, Aristotle would categorize the possible answers in a hierarchy inferred from observations of others, Kant would remark about awakening from dogmatic slumber and return to sleep if he'd been out drinking the night before (quite improbable) while Plato would dispute that objects in-the-world deserved names at all; applying Wheeler's retro-causality paradigm to Kripke's Naming and Necessity neo-realism in regard to formal relations between the realm of forms and the observable.
