I would guess that an argument for “Intelligent Design” is out of the question, since we’re dealing with Bavasi here!

Here’s a joke for all you closet philo majors:

Rene Descartes walks into a deli, orders a ham and cheese on rye.
The counterman says, “You want mustard with that?”
Descartes says: “I think NOT…”
… and he disappears

I also started as a philosophy major before moving on to journalism (kept it as a minor after the switch). We covered really out-there stuff like Paul Ricoeur, though. My final essay in that course involved applying Ricoeur’s theories to my favorite book at the time, Shoeless Joe. Gotta love Concordia University. Go Stingers!

Still waiting for DZ’s seminal essay: “Mariners Kant Win!”

Again, just wait until poststructuralism, where much of the point is being sure the reader can’t parse the sentences.

#29, you are not the dumbest. At best you are in a tie with me. I couldn’t even parse some of the sentences let alone understand what was being said. I did laugh a lot however.

Wow I doubt I could decode what you are trying to say sober…. Drunk, I have much less confidence in my reasoning ablilities. I am going to google “logical positivism” and respond later.

I say we stick with political treatises. “These are times that try men’s souls…”

Wow. Baseball fanatic philosophy majors. I feel like going to the attic and digging out that box from college that contains certain smoking implements that involve water.
Question for philosophers: If Jeff Cirillo regularly cashes checks written to him by the Mariners, does that in fact make him a ‘baseball player’.
