Great minds think differently. I hope this quiz will interest you in philosophy and find some great quotes, discoveries, or even conclusions to share with us in the near future.
Which great mind do you agree with the most? This quiz compares your views with those of seven different western philosophers and philosophical groups. Here is the link - http://www.gotoquiz.com/which_philosopher_are_you 1. What is your age? Under 18 Years Old 18 to 24 Years Old 25 to 30 Years Old 31 to 40 Years Old 41 to 50 Years Old 51 to 60 Years Old Over 60 Years Old 2. What is your gender? Male Female 3. If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is there, does it make a sound? No Yes This is not a fair question. 4. What does science do for us? (in terms of truth) It gives us truths about the world. It changes truths in the world. It guarantees nothing. It shows us the world, the way we MUST perceive it. 5. Is truth relative? Yes No, truth is absolute. You can't prove either one. 6. Is truth transcendent. Yes, truth exists in a higher realm seperate from the emperical realm. No, truth exists in the emperical world. (And outside of my mind) No, truth exists in my mind. ("My mind" can also be the emperical world) 7. Art... satisfies the human impulse for immitation and harmony. unless it dipicts Truth, is harmfull and delusive. stands on it's own as immortal and trancendent. is the most noble goal of man. is the idealized representation of fact. 8. Life is... art, when lived well. what you make of it. a distraction from truth. algid, life is fulgid. Life is what the least of us make most of us feel the least of us make the most of. Life is a burgeoning, a quickening of the dim primordial urge in the murky wastes of time. a compilation of facts. 9. God... is dead. is an immutable category through which we must see the world. is truth and justice. is more than one. is an attempt at avoiding life's absurdity. 10. We should live to be... the person who understands and accepts life's absurdity. the person who reaches Truth. beyond good and evil. the perfect median, the virtous individual. an ethical person, who acts only out of good will. 11. Mathematics... we can be sure of (unlike science). gives us meaningless truths. is part of our web of belief. is part of our Appolinian dream. is purley analytical. (this answer presumes an alalytic-synthetic distinction) 12. Language.. is not tied to perception is tied to perception. is the limits of my world. can be better or worse. You can also go to the following link and answer the questions and share your results here with us. Here is the link - http://www.gotoquiz.com/which_philosopher_are_you |

Aristotle

|

|
|
|
|
Immanuel Kant
"There are things in themselves, but they are unimportant to us. We must interpret everything through certain immutable categories, such as time and the laws of physics. All rational animals must see the world through these categories, and what they see is unrelated to the things in themselves." Interestingly, I'd have never selected this description of myself.

Which philosopher are you?
Your Result: Sartre/Camus (late existentialists) The world is absurd. No facts govern it. We live well once we truly accept the world's absurdity. YOU give our life's meaning, and YOU control your world. (see Nietzsche for very closely tied beliefs) --This quiz was made by S. A-Lerer. Nietzsche Immanuel Kant Plato (strict rationalists) W.v.O. Quine / Late Wittgenstein Aristotle Early Wittgenstein / Positivists How completely ****ing absurd! |

Your Result: Aristotle
Truth does not exist in some transcendent realm. We get to truth by applying reason to the physical world. The world follows logic and commonsense. Science if done properly is not to far from philosophy. --This quiz was made by S. A-Lerer. |

Which philosopher are you?
Your Result: Plato (strict rationalists) There is a transcendent, absolute truth. We can get to this truth by pure reason, in the form of dialectic. Everyone wants truth. Truth is virtue, is happiness. Your philosophy might boil down to: You are right and those who disagree with you are wrong. (Note that there are many different conflicting interpretations of Plato's writings.) |

Sartre/Camus is quiet popular.
Aristotle running for second and we even have one Plato and a Immanuel Kant result.

Apparently I'm the real throw-back as an Immanual Kant!

Oh I wouldn't say that. Immanuel Kant was a clever and brilliant philosopher. He managed to get his name heard with his idealogies. Good job
