VI My Philosophy by Woody Allen (Published in Getting Even, 1971)

The development of (1) my philosophy came (2) about (3) as follows: My wife, inviting me (4) to sample (5) her (6) very (7) first (8)
souffl, accidentally dropped a (9) spoonful of it on my foot, (10) fracturing (11) several small bones. Doctors were called in, X-Rays
taken and examined, and I was ordered to bed (12) for a month. (13) During (14) this (15) convalescence, I turned to the works of (16)
some of (17) Western (18) society's (19) most (20) formidable thinkers a (21) stack of books I (22) had (23) laid (24) aside (25) for
(26) such (27) an (28) eventuality. (29) Scorning (30) chronological order, I began with (31) Kierkegaard and Sartre, then moved
quickly to Spinoza, Hume, Kafka, and Camus. I was not bored, (32) as I had feared I might be; rather, I found myself fascinated by
the (33) alacrity with which these great minds (34) unflinchingly attacked morality, art, ethics, life and death. I remember my reaction
to a typically (35) luminous observation of Kierkegaard's: "Such a relation which relates itself to its own self (that is to say, a self)
must either have constituted itself or have been constituted by another." The (36) concept (37) brought tears (38) to my eyes. My
word, I thought, (39) how clever! (I'm a man who has trouble (40) writing two meaningful sentences on "My Day at the Zoo.") True,
the passage was totally (41) incomprehensible to me, but (42) what (43) of (44) it (45) as long as Kierkegaard was having fun?
Suddenly confident (46) that metaphysics was the work I had always been meant (47) to (48) do, I took up my pen and began (49) at
once to jot down the (50) first of my (51) own musings. The work proceeded (52) apace, and in a mere two afternoons (53) with (54)
time out (55) for (56) dozing and trying to get the (57) two (58) little (59) BBs in to the eyes of the bear I had completed the
philosophical work that I am hoping (60) will (61) not be (62) uncovered until (63) after my death, or until the year 3000 ( (64)
whichever comes first), and (65) which I modestly believe will assure (66) me a place of reverence (67) among (68) history's (69)
weightiest thinkers. Here is but a small sample of the main body of intellectual treasure that I leave for posterity, or until the (70)
cleaning woman comes.

 I. (1) Critique of (2) Pure (3) Dread
In (4) formulating (5) any philosophy, the (6) first consideration (7) must (8) always (9) be: (10) What (11) can (12) we (13) know?
(14) That is, what can we be (15) sure we know, (16) or sure (17) that we know we knew it, if (18) indeed it is (19) at all (20)
knowable. Or have we (21) simply forgotten it and are too embarrassed to say anything? (22) Descartes hinted at the problem when he
wrote, "My mind can (23) never know my body, although it (24) has become (25) quite (26) friendly with my legs." By "knowable,"
(27) incidentally, I (28) do (29) not mean (30) that (31) which can be (32) known by perception of the senses, or that which can be
grasped by the mind, but more that which can be said to be (33) Known or to possess (34) Knownness or (35) Knowability, or at least
something you can mention to a friend.
Can we actually "know" the universe? My God, (36) it (37) 's (38) hard (39) enough finding (40) your way (41) around in Chinatown.
The point, (42) however, is: Is (43) there (44) anything (45) out (46) there? And (47) why? And must they be so noisy? (48) Finally,
there can be (49) no doubt (50) that the one characteristic of "reality" is that it (51) lacks essence. That is (52) not (53) to (54) say it
has no essence, (55) but (56) merely lacks it. (The reality I speak (57) of (58) here is the same one (59) Hobbes (60) described, but
(61) a little (62) smaller.) (63) Therefore the (64) Cartesian dictum "I think, therefore I am" (65) might (66) be (67) better expressed
"Hey, there goes Edna with a saxaphone!" So, then, (68) to know a substance or an idea (69) we must doubt it, and thus, (70) doubting
it, come to perceive the qualities it possesses in (71) its (72) finite state, (73) which are truly "in the thing (74) itself," or "of the thing
itself," or of (75) something or (76) nothing. If (77) this is (78) clear, we can leave (79) epistemology (80) for the moment.

II. (1) Eschatological (2) Dialectics as a Means of Coping with (3) Shingles
We can say (4) that the universe (5) consists (6) of a (7) substance, and (8) this substance (9) we (10) will call "atoms," or (11) else we
will call it "monads." (12) Democritus called it atoms. Leibniz called it monads. (13) Fortunately, the (14) two men (15) never met, or
(16) there (17) would (18) have (19) been a (20) very (21) dull argument. These "particles" (22) were set in (23) motion by (24) some
cause or (25) underlying principle, or (26) perhaps (27) something fell (28) someplace. The point is that it's (29) too late (30) to (31)
do (32) anything (33) about it now, (34) except possibly to eat plenty of (35) raw fish. This, of course, (36) does (37) not (38) explain
(39) why the soul is immortal. (40) Nor does it say anything about the (41) afterlife, or about the feeling (42) my (43) Uncle (44)
Sender (45) has (46) that (47) he (48) is (49) being (50) followed (51) by (52) Albanians. The causal relationship (53) between (54)
the (55) first principle (i.e., (56) God, or a strong wind) and (57) any (58) teleological (59) concept (60) of (61) being (Being) is, (62)
according to Pascal, "(63) so (64) ludicrous (65) that it's (66) not (67) even (68) funny ( (69) Funny )." Schopenhauer called this
"will," but his physician diagnosed it (70) as (71) hay (72) fever. In his (73) later years, he became (74) embittered by it, or (75) more
(76) likely (77) because of his (78) increasing suspicion that he was not (79) Mozart.

 III. The Cosmos on Five Dollars a Day
(1) What, (2) then, is "beautiful"? The merging of harmony (3) with (4) the (5) just, or the merging of harmony with something that
(6) just sounds like "the just"? Possibly harmony (7) should (8) have (9) been merged with "the crust" and this is what's been giving
(10) us (11) our (12) trouble. Truth, (13) to (14) be sure, is beauty or "the necessary." That is, what is good or (15) possessing the
qualities of "the good" results in "truth." If it doesn't, you (16) can bet the thing is (17) not beautiful, (18) although it may still be (19)
waterproof. I am beginning to think I was right in the first place that (20) everything should be merged with the crust. Oh well.

Two Parables
(1) A man approaches a palace. (2) Its (3) only entrance is guarded by (4) some fierce (5) Huns (6) who (7) will only let men (8)
named Julius enter. The man tries to (9) bribe the guards by (10) offering them a (11) year's supply of (12) choice chicken parts. They
(13) neither scorn (14) his offer (15) nor accept it, but (16) merely take his nose and twist it (17) till it looks (18) like a Molly screw.
The man says it is (19) imperative that he enter the palace (20) because he is (21) bringing the emperor a (22) change of underwear.
When the guards (23) still refuse, the man begins (24) to (25) Charleston. They seem to enjoy (26) his (27) dancing (28) but (29) soon
become (30) morose (31) over the treatment of the (32) Navajos by the (33) federal government. Out of breath, the man collapses. He
dies, (34) never (35) having (36) seen the emperor and owing the (37) Steinway people sixty dollars on a piano he had rented (38)
from (39) them in (40) August.
I am given a message (41) to deliver (42) to a general. I ride and ride, but the general's (43) headquarters seem to get (44) farther and
farther away. (45) Finally, a giant black panther leaps (46) upon me and devours my mind and heart. (47) This puts a (48) terrific (49)
crimp in my evening. No matter how hard I try, I cannot catch the general, (50) whom I see running in the distance in his shorts and
whispering the word "nutmeg" to his enemies.

Aphorisms
(1) It (2) is (3) impossible (4) to experience (5) one's (6) own (7) death (8) objectively and (9) still carry a tune.
The universe is (10) merely a (11) fleeting idea in God's mind a (12) pretty uncomfortable thought, particularly if you've (13) just
made a down payment on a house.
(14) Eternal (15) nothingness is O.K. (16) if you're dressed for it.
If only (17) Dionysus were (18) alive! (19) Where would he eat?
(20) Not only is (21) there (22) no God, but try (23) getting a plumber on (24) weekends.
