Discussing Philosophy
Rene: Why are you sitting here just Staring into space?
Francis: I’m Pondering life.
Rene: That sounds Profound.
Francis: I’m examining my life from a Metaphysical standpoint. I’m not sure I really Exist. Maybe my entire life is an Illusion and there’s no such thing as Reality.
Rene: Okay. Are you sure you’re feeling all right?
Francis: I’m better now that I’ve made some decisions about my Epistemological outlook on life. I’m allowing Reason and Logic to guide me.
Rene: That’s great, but you still seem a little Distracted.
Francis: That’s because I’m Wrestling with some major questions about Ethics and Morality. It’s not easy always trying to do the right thing.
Rene: I can understand that, but could you get me…?
Francis: But then I think that perhaps the only thing that matters in life are Esthetics, and I should devote my life to creating beauty.
Rene: That’s a nice idea, but have you given any thought to how you’d pay the rent? You could start by getting me a cup of coffee.
Francis: Ah, I see you’re a Realist. Do you want your usual or do you want to hear the specials?
