Bibme

The fully automatic bibliography maker that auto-fills. It’s the quickest way to build a works cited page. And it’s free. Search for a book, article, website, or film from our database, or enter the information yourself. Add it to your bibliography. Download your bibliography in either the MLA, APA, or Chicago formats and include it in your paper.

That’s ok. Philosophers don’t care about making it in the real world; so, why would they care about making it in some made-up Jim Henson world?
Just kidding, just kidding…

Actually, this really isn’t a form of the Liar’s paradox (at least as it is presented in the movie Labyrinth—which is what this cartoon is alluding to). The guard at the door, who is giving the instructions could be lying, in which case, all bets are off, and there would be no inconsistency—the guard is just a liar!

You remind me of the babe!

A Short Imagined Monologue from Mike Jones entitled Professor Richard Dawkins Speaks at Fair Hills Kindergarten Regarding Santa Claus, December 2, 2006

Unsurprisingly, the response to this has not changed since I was a lad: he does it with the aid of Christmas Magic. Indeed—Christmas Magic, that wonderful, majestical force. A single drop of it allows a man to fly around the world in a sleigh led by nine tiny reindeer. Fascinating, isn’t it? Now, before I continue on, let me first make it clear that I am not claiming that the existence of Santa or wonderful industrious elves or Christmas Magic is impossible. I cannot prove that they do not exist any more than I can disprove the existence of fairies or leprechauns. What I can tell you is that statistic probability and science can provide us with a clear look at the truth, and if we are willing to be honest with ourselves as a result of this data, then we will quite quickly see that there simply is no scientific foundation for any of the aforementioned phenomena.

Ooh and here’s another one…
And They Say You Can’t Get Any Jobs With a Philosophy Degree

Hi, my name is Devin. I just graduated with a degree in philosophy and welcome to the Halloween Store. I’m here to help you with all your Halloween needs. I studied the analytic tradition of philosophy with an emphasis in moral theory … Oh, what? That over there? That’s a Frankenstein mask. The low prices aren’t the only things that’ll scare you. What I found particularly compelling were Hume’s metaethics. I, for one, agree with his emotivist stance on the nature of moral judgment and believe that any assertion of rationality as part of that process is only an ad hoc attempt to somehow “independently” justify the moral conclusions we’ve already reached, but, to answer your question, we’re all out of capes, sorry.

Daily Lit has a very small selection of philosophy texts that they can email to you in sections over a certain number of days. Plato’s Republic, Aristotle’s Poetics & Descartes’ Discourse on Method among other titles are available to subscribers completely free of charge. One cool feature is that there is a “send me the next section” button at the end of every email, so you can continue reading if you have time.
