A REMARKABLE PARTY
You are having the most remarkable party in history! By suspending time, you are able to
invite any 12 people, dead or alive, to the party. Which 12 people would you choose?
CONSIDER:
1. It is not necessary that you invite important people. You can choose someone who
is interesting for other reasons.
2. Perhaps you would like to establish a theme for the evening. One group of guests
would like to have fun, another group of guests would like to discuss interesting
philosophical questions. Remember that the guests you invite may depend upon the
theme.
For example, you would not want to invite people who might hate each other to an
evening of fun and relaxation.
