Progress of Philosophy

Marcus Tullius Cicero wrote that there is nothing so absurd as not to have been said by a philosopher; Nihil tam absurdum quod non dicatur ab aliquo philosophorum*

I'll have to disagree with my dear namesake. Since the times of Cicero, philosophers have blurted out an impressive array of new absurd claims.

I argue that there will always be more absurdities that philosophers can turn into fame, recognition, and admiration.
