as a philosopher

I've been more than intrigued by the 'relationship'

between 'thought and action' for sometime ...

see this link below for a very brief insight into this 'long standing'
philosophical conundrum .....

and its 'resolution' ???

Classic smile!

In the lineup introduction for the Germans, "Beckenbauer a bit of a surprise there." . . . for the Greeks, "Aristotle very much the man in form."  ha ha

Hilarious spoof. I’m wondering if one should draw any meaning to the fact that Socrates scored the winning goal.  I loved the fact that Marx was not even in the lineup but was complaining after the goal.

Doesn’t look like a recently produced video or was it AI generated.?

Tony,

Don't believe it to be AI generated but a major 'skit'

by the 'monty python group' from some years ago ...

the philosophical significance I take from it, I dare say now with some trepidation,

is not Socrates goal but Archimedes insight as an early philosopher-physical scientist

(some shades of Lonergan's-McShane's great appreciation for the physical scientists and their methodological work)

who realized that there was this ball that needed to be attended to

and moved toward the goal ... this is what originally got things going ...

... it was an original assist only but without it, there would have been no goal for the Greek philosopher ...

(am I reading too much into it?)

Hugh

(as for the 'unfair' treatment of Marx, that's a whole other story ...)
