Philosophy Jokes You KANT Miss!

Philosophy for some reason often gets a bad rep these days. Whether it is the typical, "you'll never find a job with a philosophy degree," (which mind you is not completely true!) or the oh so fallacious and heartbreaking statement of, "philosophy has no relevance today," us lovers of wisdom (which is what the word philosophy actually means in Greek) always find ourselves defending the need for philosophy in our postmodern world. It's quite strange really because so many disciplines rely so heavily on philosophy without us even knowing it! Not to mention that we as humans philosophize just about every day! Shoot, even in mainstream cultures like Hip-Hop many topics rapped about are philosophical in nature. (From Tupac to Kendrick, it can be argued that hip hop houses many great thinkers of today.) Yet, this article is not about how the skills you learn from philosophy can be transferred to other fields or how it has been documented that Philosophy majors score amazingly high scores on their LSAT tests. This article is to show all of you that one KANT simply (see what I did there...) top philosophy jokes. After all, the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein did once say that "a serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes." So LOCKE your eyes on your mobile device and lets get EMPIRICAL!:

I mean, it's okay for philosophy majors to joke about this...Just not anyone else!

1) Cartesian Roommate


2) Sorry Bernie Sanders supporters...Karl Marx beat ya to it a long time ago!



3) Plato's man cave seems almost to good to be true...

4) **MIC DROP**


5) Darth Vader drops some epistemology up in here

6) Ever wonder why us philosophy majors don't tend to spend time together outside of class?...

7) Hume's back at it again!

8) Sigmund Freud's answers to all of your life's problems

9) Is Trump a closet dialectic enthusiast? (I really want to know who get's this one!)

10) Socrates and Son...sounds like a good comedy sitcom.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
