During their time people thought they were crazy too. You only think there normal because we have the technology to support them. History repeats itself, what will happen in 1,000 years? These "nutty" philosophers might be proven right.
i' love to be a philosopher...so i dont think its crazy...well maybe a little but thier whole job seems so much more interesting than most normal jobs (unless maybe if ure a human canonballor a knife juggler)
they seem crazy because what they think of are new and never before even fathomed.. so, think about it again...
Calling Philosophers nuts or insane is retarded. These people's goal is to gain another uncommon point of view. Ages ago, people thought the world was flat, we could be wrong about things just as they were. I'm really interested in philosophy, it's a shame that there aren't any philosophy lessons or classes in Germany, but Religious Education is everywhere :| But in conclousion, philosophers aren't nuts, in fact they are probably smarter than you think. It takes alot of time to think about things nobody has ever thought about.
well this is an opinion i think they are pretty dumb at times, but decide on a famiy guy episode: Can you please get a job? (hand in sky) why?
LMAO, I've seen that episode :lol: And no philosophers aren't nuts. Maybe a little eccentric, which is a good thing, but not crazy. It's better to be an original/unique person who can think of interesting points rather than a zombie with the same old boring point of view.
The topic question was childish and ill-defined in the first place. And to answer the question, no, they are not nuts. The whole thought process of philosophers and philosophy is just difficult for masses to grasp, that's all. Read Plato's Allegory of the Cave if you have the time. =)
omg i measured my room and found an elephant in the corner lol, the guy was probably a headcase but in general, no i dont think they are
I philosophise a lot. Generally, it's just thinking really. But the big ones, ones that do this for real purposes think about everything. Usually, laws of physics, time, possibilities. They just want their own perspective and increase the veiwing angle (If you catch my drift) And as for me, no, in now way do I think they are nuts. You just need to understand them first.
My friends think that they are. I mean, I heard that they measured the room to see if an elephants present, when clearly there is none in the immediate vicinity. Do you think they are? Are they as wise as people say they are? lmao i think whoever said that first is crazy.
