Description: Here scholars on Lilliput debate philosophy. Gulliver says that they do not have the same approach to philosophy as Europeans. He says that Lilliputians do not use Aristotelian categories, but is instead based on infallible principles, and imagining oneself as a member of another class. Thus, here we see two well-dressed men acting as servants to the third. This image comes in the appendix to Gulliver’s travels to Lilliput. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
