Subject: Personal Ads of the Philosophers ---- Personal Ads of the Philosophers: Socrates MWM, age unknown (mature, not elderly), famously ugly but a good talker. I like questions, not answers; reason, not passion; wisdom, not wealth; Euripides, not Aristophanes. Seeks ignorant and irrational woman or handsome youth to do what is wrong. =========== Hume SWM, age 49, philosopher (unemployed as such, but earn a living other ways), stout Scotsman, sympathetic nature. Ruling passions include literary fame, English history, complex ideas, human nature, and hatred of the a priori. Well-disposed towards dispositions. Seeking woman, forceful and vivacious, who has reason to be the slave of my passions. =========: Kant SWM, 56, university professor, virgin, just finishing big book, looking for expanded social life. Hobbies include walking around town, starry-sky gazing, rational self-governance. I do not enjoy liars, promise-breakers, dogmatic slumbers, doing the morally right thing (but I do it anyway, out of respect for duty) or travelling. Seeks woman (Konigsberg area, please) for non-exploitative relationship based on mutual respect for our rational natures. ======= Nietzsche SWM, 42, retired academic living on modest pension, some health problems but highly resilient. Handsome in a Teutonic way. Enjoys solitude, walking in the mountains, fate, the French, and opera (Bizet, not Wagner!). Anti-religious (both the church and its poison). Seeks woman willing to will the eternal return of our relationship. No Germans, "free thinkers," Anglophiles, or anti-s emites. No permanent mailing address, so please respond to Box #1291. | ||||
