Surely we could work these into Godly Play somehow
Courtesy of M., take a look at these Philosopher Action Figures. Some of the cleverest ones (Frege, for example) won't entirely make sense unless you've been pretty thoroughly corrupted by philosophy, but "my guys" have a broader appeal. Take a look:
"Awful" Augustine
"Angry" Anselm
"Acrimonious" Aquinas

Delightful. The Bishop Berkeley Eye Closing Power has been much used of late in discussions within the Anglican Communion...
Really Cool!
What about for the so-called "pomo-ists" Seems we're missing the latest generation. Deranged Derrida?
Oops. His power would be he gives you a headache when you try to read him.
Loathsome Lacan?
The guy who did these was a graduate student at Indiana, where I believe one would not be likely to encounter "pomo-ists" as anything other than objects of ridicule, or perhaps as bogeymen ("Better work hard in that seminar. Otherwise, your brain will rot and you'll turn into Derrida.").
