Chain-smoking Luckies & getting into fist fights over German or French philosophy -- Ouch!!! One night I had to duke it out between critical theory & existentialism. Double ouch: My Hedonism clashed with her Epicureanism; We were all Kantian but only some of us were Cartesian; can you believe it!! & god forbid if you weren't a Nietzschean; but Heidegger was verboten, Kierkegaard a guilty pleasure... The last brawl I can remember was over Schopenhauer vs. Hegel, yet again... I left when the talk turned to Foucault.
