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.
