Question by Aloha Hilo Hattie: What would one of the following philosophers say about the movie, Minority Report? What would either, John Locke, John Stuart Mill, Socrates, Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, Martin Luther King Jr, or Rene Descartes have said about the themes in the movie Minority Report? This IS for my homework if you’re wondering, I am having a hard time conceptualizing this one. I do know that the main themes have to do with the rights of the government as well as determinism and if we are all guided by fate or choice. Thanks for the help!

Answer by Yaoi Shonen-aiEVERY WORD in every language except proper names represents something metaphysical. Who told you we are in a post-metaphysical world? Those philosophers who say we can know nothing? That all is “relative.” Without metaphysics, we would have no language.
