The three little metaphysicians
Les trois petits
métaphysiciens
Once upon a time, three little metaphysicians
believed they were architects.
The first one was called
Baconfucius. He built a Cartesian pantodrome.
But Cochonfucius arrived and began to huff and puff. The Cartesianism was
scattered, and such was the end of the
first pantodrome.
Baconfucius ran quickly to
Kryptonfucius' pantodrome, which was a Spinozist one. Unfortunately, Cochonfucius had been following him,
and he huffed and puffed again, dispersing all the Spinozism. Such was the end of the
second pantodrome.
Baconfucius and Kryptonfucius ran to
Dragonfucius' place. His pantodrome was a Heideggerian one, with a big chimney. Cochonfucius, having followed his two victims,
huffed and puffed once more, but he could not shatter the clouds of heavy Heideggerianism. So he climbed on top of the pantodrome, in order to see if he could
go down the chimney. However, he inhaled so much Heideggerianism in the process, that he almost became one more Heideggerian creature on this planet.
But he recovered, and by chanting Our body is a tree for quite a long time,
he turned the three little metaphysicians
into harmless little empiricists. So he went to his garden to take a nap.
