THE PHILOSOPHERS SONG
(Monty Python)
Monty Python


Immanuel Kant was a real pissant,
Who was very rarely stable,
Heidegger,Heidegger,was a boozy begger,
Who could drink you under the table,
David Hume could out-consume,
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a boozy swine,
Who was just as sloshed as Schlegel,
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach yer 'bout the raising of the wrist,
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill of his own free will,
On half a bottle o' shandy was particularly ill,
Plato they say,could stick it away,
Half a crate o' whisky every day,
Aristotle,Aristotle,was a bugger for the bottle,
Awfully fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart,
"I drink therefore I am",
Yes,Socrates himself is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed.

Answer 4

"I am sometimes shocked by the blasphemies of those who think themselves pious-for instance, the nuns who never take a bath without wearing a bathrobe all the time. When asked why, since no man can see them, they reply: "Oh, but you forget the good God." Apparently they conceive of the Deity as a Peeping Tom, whose omnipotence enables Him to see through bathroom walls, but who is foiled by bathrobes. This view strikes me as curious." -Bertrand Russell

Answer 5

E. Morin, French philosopher and sociologist, Method V

Answer 9

"I think therefore I am" - Descarte (i think that's how you spell his name)
Because we are self aware, thoughtful, conscoius beings we know we are something - from there we just don't know exactly what that something is.

I also like the Socrates quote someone stated above - "All I know is that I know nothing"
