The fool is scandalized and laughs when he notices that philosophers contradict each other.
It is difficult to make the fool understand that philosophy is precisely that: the art of contradicting each other without canceling each other out.

  1. The original Spanish is:

    El tonto se escandaliza y ríe cuando advierte que los filósofos se contradicen.
    Es difícil hacerle entender al tonto que la filosofía, precisamente, es el arte de contradecirse mutuamente sin anularse.
