The dream team from philosophy takes the pitch for an epic match. The Greeks played their top players which includes Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, while the Germans kept their heavy playmaker, Karl Marx on the bench. They however field their strongest player, Franz Beckenbauer, nicknamed “The Emperor”, to play alongside top philosophers Hegel, Karl Jespers, and Immanuel Kant. The referee for the match was Confuscius from China.
The first half ended a nil-nil draw with neither players touching the football. Karl Marx was brought in the second half to spark the German team, but was unable to give answers. Socrates, the captain for Greece, managed to score the only goal of the match with a header from a beautiful cross by Archimedes.
The goal didn’t come without controversy as Hegel argues that “the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination”. Karl Marx argues it was offside but Confuscius waves away the protests. The Greeks managed to create an upset win with the final score line Greeks 1 Germans 0.
