The Philosophers' Football Match is a Monty Python sketch depicting a football match in the Olympiastadion at the 1972 Munich Olympics between philosophers representing Greece and Germany. Starring in the sketch are Archimedes (John Cleese), Socrates (Eric Idle), Hegel (Graham Chapman), Nietzsche (Michael Palin), Marx (Terry Jones) and Kant (Terry Gilliam). Palin also provides the match television commentary. The footage opens with the banner headline "International Philosophy", and Palin providing the narrative. Confucius is the referee and keeps times with an hourglass. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine (sporting haloes) serve as linesmen.〔 The German manager is Martin Luther. As play begins, the philosophers break from their proper football positions only to walk around on the pitch as if deeply pondering, and in some cases declaiming, their theories.〔Gener, Randy. (May 1, 2006) American Theatre ''The French Misconnection, or What Makes a Writer French.'' Volume 23; Issue 5; Page 42.〕 Franz Beckenbauer, the sole genuine footballer on the pitch and a "surprise inclusion" in the German team, is left more than a little confused. The sketch was performed in the Grünwalder Stadion.〔Beer, Roman. (2011) ''Kultstätte an der Grünwalder Straße. Die Geschichte eines Stadions'' Page 129, Publisher: Die Werkstatt. ISBN 978-3-89533-780-2〕 It originally featured in the second ''Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus'' episode broadcast on 5 December 1974 and was later included in ''Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl (1982).''〔Larsen, Darl. (2003) ''(Monty Python, Shakespeare and English Renaissance Drama. )'' Page 45, Publisher: McFarland & Company. ISBN 0-7864-1504-5〕 The Greek players, mostly with long gray beards and hair, play in togas, while the Germans sport a variety of period dress including Victorian frock coats and breeches. "Nobby" Hegel carries a grey top hat, while Beckenbauer wears modern Bayern Munich football strip. ==Outcome== Nietzsche receives a yellow card after claiming that Confucius has no free will. Confucius replies, "Name go in book". In the second half, with nothing being accomplished on the field other than contemplation, Karl Marx is noticed warming up vigorously on the German sidelines. Marx soon races onto the field to substitute Ludwig Wittgenstein, his energy appearing as an obvious game-changer. Upon the referee's restart, Marx simply pulls up and starts meandering in deep thought like the rest. With just over a minute of the match remaining Archimedes cries out "Eureka!", takes the first kick of the ball and rushes towards the German goal. After several passes through a perplexed German defence, Socrates scores the only goal of the match in a diving header off a cross from Archimedes. As the sketch closes, the Germans dispute the call; "Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an ''a priori'' adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx claims it was offside." (The replay proves that, according to the offside rule, Socrates was indeed offside, but the sketch, nevertheless, states that the Greeks have won.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Philosophers' Football Match」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
