Why did the chicken cross the road?
Kant: Because you think it did.
Heidegger: Because it matters to you.
Hume: "When we...consider the operation of causes, we are never able, in a single instance, to discover...any quality, which binds the effect to the cause, and renders the one an infallible consequence of the other. There is required a medium, which may enable the mind to draw such an inference...What that medium is, I must confess, passes my comprehension."
Hegel: Because it wished to transcend the boundary of its finitude and thereby become more "real."
Wittgenstein: Discussion of will is a misuse of logic, as language can only reflect the world, not the mystical.
Schlegel: Because "free spirit always triumphs over nature."
Nietzsche: I love him who crosses the road, for the road is a bridge to overman, and a going under.
Socrates: How big was the road? Where was the road? What sort of chicken was it? Where did the chicken come from? How long did it take to cross the road? What was on the other side of the road?
Mill: Because it would be a violation of its liberty for someone to prevent it from doing so.
Plato: Because you remember it happening.
Aristotle: Material Cause-because it has legs, Formal Cause-because it is a chicken, Efficient Cause-because it walked across the road, Final Cause-because it wanted to walk across the road.
Hobbes: Because it was in his self-interest.
Descartes: Because you perceived it, and human judgment is the only parameter of reality.
Kant: Because you think it did.
Heidegger: Because it matters to you.
