“Philosophy is the science which considers truth”


Watch : ~ Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl - Philospher's Song

The Philosophers' Drinking Song Lyrics : ~

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And
Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as
Schlegel.
There's nothing
Nietzsche couldn't teach ya'
Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whisky every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And
René 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.

  3. A lot of famous names there. Shame philosophers are no longer as prominent as in days of yore.

    Then our masters don't really want anyone thinking too deeply about our modern world, do they? Heh heh!

  5. Hard to picture George hunkering down over Hume or Socrates.

  6. A few years ago, George cried apparently when his library burned down because he hadn't finished colouring in one of the two books! Cheers!
