I’ve decided that I want to focus my research on the show Beyond The Fringe.
Upon Googling this show, the first thing that appears is the following video:
Beyond The Fringe on Oxford Philosophy
This video clearly satirizes those who call themselves “philosophers” and the way in which they dig deeply into whatever they do and ask how and why things are the way they are. When they attempt to reason why philosophy is important in everyday life, he uses an example of someone in an argument at a shop saying “What do you mean yes?” as if there really is another meaning to the simple word of affirmation, yes.
I can appreciate this type of satire because these actors are intelligent enough to make arguments and statements that are not just absurd but also the kinds of things that those who truly believe themselves to be brilliant philosophers would probably say.
