Xavier pt 2

The main part of philosophy that this series pokes fun at is the peripatetic mindset. The mindset that a wondering shaman or thinker is able to happen upon an idea or situation that he is called upon by fate.

                                           

The way it pokes fun at this philosophy is that Xavier is constantly wondering, constantly moving, and going on long tangents that seem deep but mean nothing. This is made blatantly obvious in every episode because at the end of every episode it ends where it started. This means that through all of his wondering, all of his thinking, and all of his philosophizing, he is back where he started, effectively
learning nothing.
                                                  
As awful as this TV series is, it offers a real lesson on how we should think of philosophy and how we should approach it. We should make sure that our thoughts have substance. We should make sure that our philosophy furthers ourselves and humanity, and does not stagnate thought, or become regressive to humanity.

Through its thick satire Xavier: Renegade Angle is able to both make fun of modern philosophy and show us how we can make our modern philosophical ideas stronger.
