Jokes for philosophers:

1. Philosophaster: Who’s the most punctual philosopher?

Philosopher: Immanuel Kant.

Philosophaster: And why?

Philosopher: It is said that Immanuel Kant used to take his daily walk in the afternoon in Konigsberg with such regularity and punctuality. It soon came to a point that his townmates knew what time it was when they saw Kant walking.

Philosophaster: Nope.

Philosopher: Who then?

Philosophaster: Martin Heidegger.

Philosopher: Really? And why?

Philosophaster: Because he wrote a book entitled “Being On Time.”

Note: “Sein und Zeit” (“Being and Time”), written by Martin Heidegger, cited by existentialists like Jean-Paul Sartre as a seminal work. Heidegger, however, refused the tag “existentialist” as if it were “The Plague.” He was probably thinking: “Camu/s na lang. Wag n’yo na akong idamay.”
