Putting The “Meta” Into Metaphysics

Gonna annoy people by posting lots of existentialist memes on a page titled with “metaphysics” ;))

This child is Descartes reincarnated. This is his fourth wave of doubt.

This goes well with my last post. Found this statue of Kant. Let’s say he sure seems to have a lot on his mind… leave some cranium for the rest of us!

Intelligent thoughts were chasing him but he always runs faster.

Anyone else think that Kant’s hairline looks like Saddam Hussein’s hiding place?

His hairline is transcendent and mind dependent (idealism). That’s why he died a virgin. Loser.

Where did they get this picture of me?

They call me Fyodor Karamazov because my insuppressible rizz is the only cause of conflict in my life.

Modern day Don Juan.

Right. Own up. Which hungry scholar decided to coin the term “Hume’s Fork”?

Kant and his lofty purpose

Average Bertrand Russell argument.

Let’s give him some credit with his objections to the ontological argument:

“The King of France is bald” is an incorrect statement but that isn’t claiming that “the King of France isn’t bald” is true because there is no king of France.

Don’t get me started on the cows. There is a contrast between predicates like "eat grass" and "exist," arguing that while the former conveys information about cows' habits, the latter seems tautological. It emphasises the oddity of saying: "some cows exist" because all cows must exist to be considered all cows. Using "exists" as a predicate implies a distinction between cows that exist and those that do not, which the argument deems improper due to the inherent existence of all cows.

Yeah but also some geezer rolling a stone up a hill (he’s happy, remember).

Schopenhauer try not to be a miserable old git challenge *impossible* *gone wrong* *empty lecture theatre?!*

Schopenhauer got ratio’d by Hegel

I overthink, therefore I over-am.

These philosophers keep pushing their existentialist agendas on our children!

Life feels very: Immanuel Kant but at least Immanuel Tried
