Which philosopher are you? | Comments

Not posting on my FB page until the misspellings and grammatical errors are corrected.

I got Nietzsche....I guess that's a good thing.

No Karl Marx?

compilers of quizzes are confined to the limits of their own thinking or plagiarising ideas of others within their limits. However, this was fun to do outwith the absurdity of your spelling!

This quiz was confusing, but I'm happy with my result. :) Plato's my hero. Have you read The Republic? It's like he tricks you into agreeing with him.

Well, I think it's lovely.

Terrible spelling. Not ready for the world to see yet. Please fix. Not to mention the simplification of the questions.

Sorry, but I think this quiz is of very poor standard. Full of grammatical & spelling errors; words used incorrectly; insufficient options; wording very often ambiguous. No meaningful result can be obtained through this. 0/10!

There is no provable absolute truth. At the bottom of every philosophy there is some inspired assumption which the philosopher defends with reasons they have sought after the fact. There is no rational principle behind our world. The most noble goal in life is to create art. To live well is to be art. If life is a dream, "I will dream on!"

I guess this is how I think. The art part doesn't really fit me, though... OK quiz.

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.

61% Nietzsche
58% Aristotle
42% Early Wittgenstein / Positivists
32% Immanuel Kant
15% W.v.O. Quine / Late Wittgenstein
11% Plato (strict rationalists)

The spelling is terrible and takes away from the credibility of the quiz. Otherwise a very clever concept.

Language can be better or worse? Than what? Itself? Outside influences? Going to swinger parties and picking up STDs from strangers? Language is the limits of my world (sic)?? It's pure gobbledygook. I hate pseudo intellectual tests like this expecting people to take it seriously when it's nonsense and grammatically incorrect.

h and while I'm being picky, I don't think realization of truth can be accomplished by pure reason. I believe it comes from within seekers after truth who are willing to open up and fully experience life. This test sucks. Whoever did the interpretations wasn't scientific at all about the questions or the conclusions. WTF is this supposed to mean?: Language... is not tied to perception

is tied to perception.

Learn to spell. Then study some stuff like what mutually exclusive means.

Does the star system allow anything other than 7?

The Michael Jackson quiz on that site is more scientific and valid than this one. What's next? Barbie and Ken?. Are they algid or fulgid? Can one be algid and the other fulgid? Which is which? Can life be burgeoning within their twisty groins even though they're plastic from identical clone molds? Will they become the overlords of the universe after the murky wastes of time deplete their primordial urges? Do plastic dolls have primordial urges? Like maybe in some parallell universe where people spout pretentious verbal diarrhea about philosophy?

I did Carl A S lerer's s--- test. I got 81% Plato

16 hours ago and here are my thoughts.

Umm, the part about me regarding others beliefs. I don't think those who disagree with me are wrong. Each to his or her own about sums it up.

My 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.)

Oh and this. 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 urgein the murky wastes of time.

algid, life is fulgid? What does that mean?? This quiz can only be excused if compiled by some pretentious 14 year old trying to sound clever and failing. A quickening of the dim primordial urge in the murky wastes of time?? f

For those lazy people saying "algid" and "fulgid" are not a word but couldn't spend a second looking it up at the dictionary:

*alg id
algid [al-jid]
adjective
cold; chilly.
Origin:
162030; < Latin algidus cold; see algor
*fulgent or fulgid (fldnt, fldd)
adj

poetic- shining brilliantly; resplendent; gleaming

[C15: from Latin fulgre to shine, flash]

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

C/N: No. Science rules Philosophy. Science rules all.

Aight, Nietzsche..

Plato! Woot!

What does "fulgid" mean? Is it just a horrible misspelling of "frigid", a synonym of algid (I had to look up both words, just in case I was the one making a mistake and found that "algid" IS a word)

And, btw, were the answers to that question actual quotes? Or just random stuff, made up on the spot?

Though not very accurate or meeningfull, This quiz is fun and interesting. Most of the previous commenters are just angry critics that are upset they found out they're just idiots.=) I truely believe that XD!!!

Aristotle.. lolol, k then.
