How philosophers do it...
Philosophers do it deeper. Philosophers do it a posteriori. Philosophers do it consistently. Philosophers do it conceptually. Philosophers do it for pure reasons. Philosophers do it with their minds. Philosophers think about doing it. Philosophers wonder why they did it.

How many philosophers does it take to change a light bulb? "Hmmm... well there's an interesting question isn't it?" " efine 'light bulb'..." "How can you be sure it needs changing?" Three. One to change it and two to stand around arguing over whether or not the light bulb exists.
How many Hegelians does it take to change a light bulb? Two, of course. One stands at one end of the room and argues that it isn't dark; the other stands at the other end and says that true light is impossible. This dialectic creates a synthesis which does the job.
How many Zen masters does it take to change a light bulb? Two. One to change it, and one not to change it. Three. One to change it, one not to change it, and one both to change it and not to change it.
How many existentialists does it take to change a light bulb? Two. One to change the lightbulb and one to observe how the lightbulb symbolizes an incandescent beacon of subjectivity in a netherworld of Cosmic Nothingness.
How many Kuhnian constructionist philosophers of science does it take to change a light bulb? You're still thinking in terms of 'incremental change' - what we really need is paradigm shift...we don't need a bulb with more attributes added on, we need ubiquitous luminescence.
How many Marxists does it take to change a light bulb? None. Every light bulb contains the seeds of its own revolution.

Dean, to the physics department. "Why do I always have to give you guys so much money, for laboratories and expensive equipment and stuff. Why couldn't you be like the math department - all they need is money for pencils, paper and waste-paper baskets. Or even better, like the philosophy department. All they need are pencils and paper."

Descartes is sitting in a bar, having a drink. The bartender asks him if he would like another. "I think not," he says and vanishes in a puff of logic.
