Grab for all the gusto you can Because TV and beer are all I need, man! Weltanschauung? Yes, it is one Not a real complex decision So, let us for a moment, and as we are able Look at what hedonism brings to the table Epicurean hedonism of the quantitative type It’s what I mean to be more precise
If all there is, is pleasure, And that’s what’s buried in your heart as treasure Then you can't turn and be indignant About anyone else who is just as ig’nant After all they are just grabbing gusto Maybe in a different form But who is the hedonist? To expect others to conform to non-rationality to being arbitrary
So what are we left with When we look and see? You can’t go beyond and seek a conception When all is physiology, and empiricism and behavioral biology And it can't be psychological Because psychology is not made of matter But these things do matter How do we get to the ding an sich? After all we don’t all share the same brain-ium In fact, many don’t even use their cranium So, we must challenge all the gusto grabbers, Who’ll get upset When others don’t live up to their double standards Special pleading may sound valid But if all there is, is motion and matter Then it’s melancholy salad you’ll be served on a platter
So, let me say there’s nothing wrong with TV and beer But that won’t lead you to the ding an sich Or from the phenomena to the noumena You need a Weltanschauung where the abstract can fit and that helps us make sense To have an apologia (a coherent defense) How do we do it? We intuit As God expects us to think thoughts after Him As the Father of lights enlightens a world so terribly dim
Weltanschauug is German for worldview. Ding an sich is German for "the thing in itself" as used by Immnauel Kant (The Prussian philosopher). Apologia is Koinia Greek for "having an apologetic or defense"
