Justin Weinberg has a nice post and discussion at the dailynous of the old story that people on airplanes ask us for our sayings (it's variously attributed, twenty-five or so years ago Charles Hartshorne told me it happened to him). It was kind of a cool synchronicity that on the same day I read Weinberg's post, I discovered this? There's not that much wisdom among them, but some are pretty funny. Examples:
“Logicians love to confuse people, just for the sake of getting clear on logic.”
— Logic professor
“Let me tell you about how different philosophy classes were in the ’60’s. I had a Norwegian philosophy professor at Berkeley who, one day, had our class take a walk through San Francisco and climb up a rope onto a cliff. Then we sat at his feet while he read from ‘Being and Time’.”
— Philosophy of Mind professor
“I always laughed at the honor pledge because it seems like that would be the first thing you would lie about.”
— Ethics professor
“This is at least how it works for human beings. I don’t know how it works for gods—I’ve never been one and I don’t know any.”
— Philosophy of Mind professor
