Sorry, I'm a philosophical newphag ;_;.

Interesting, though the last question is kinda off. The third option regarding virtue ethics is not a response to the dilemma and merely shoves the decision on people whose personality we would call virtuous - but what would that be? I'm partial to virtue ethics, but in this case it is a clear escape from an actual reply.

I won't be going through the test multiple times to prove veracity, but the questions are asked in such a way as to cover most mainstream views on ethics, so it should be quite useful as a guideline to see which philosopher you might sympathise with and with which one you won't. From what I can see, the list of philosophers is quite adequate for this purpose.

Though I'm perplexed by my own results. 100% Sartre [100%? Really? Perfect match?], 0% Rousseau, 86% Kant, 73% Bentham, 64% Rand [I wonder what replies I gave to indicate that]. All very diverse approaches that are apparently similar to mine and thus illustrative of the fact that the theories are significantly watered down. Nice idea though, and definitely potentially useful for newcomers.

This completely disregards nuanced views of ethics which are none of the options given, i.e. Hegel's historical and social ethics, Spinozan ethics, etc.

Couldn't take this test because it's all shit I don't agree with.

it's missing a lot of important philosophies but it's alright


d42949 No.1869

It's too simplistic. I get that that's the point, it serves as an introduction. But I think the idea is a bit misguided.

Don't take these results too seriously. I got 91% Aquinas and I don't think I agree with any of his conclusions or his reasons for reaching them.

OP here, thank you for your replies~.

Better get into the habit of actually reading so I don't have go online and post questions on a Taiwanese picture plank.

After taking several of these tests i was recommended the following.

St Augustine

Cynicism

Immanuel Kant

Plato

Friedrich Nietzsche

OP Here, on a diff computer, and country (home sweet home). I got Plato and Cynics very high, but Nietzsche, Kant, and St. Augustine substantially lower. Safe to say the test is very strangely calculated lol.

Nietzsche and Hume are my favorite philosophers, and I agree with Sartre often even if I find his philosophy very shallow. Also the stoics and cynics are people I enjoy

So I'd say it's pretty damn accurate.

>>1961

The reason you can answer similarly and get widely different philosophers is sometimes the difference lies in very nuanced responses. I've read a shitload of Nietzsche and so of course my answers reflect his, because I view the world similar to how he did.
