Which philosopher are you? | Comments

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.

I agree with Kantbedone. I am familiar with most individuals mentioned in this quiz, and agree most closely with the beliefs of Immanuel Kant. However, this pegged me as Late Wittgenstein.

Al so, you absolutely should have included Rob Pirsig.

Nietzsche,I do like honesty and loyalty alot sense it does help build better bonds and trust then without less chaos and stress in life. I also am a huge dreamer too. Cool quiz mate.

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!!!

77% Aristotle. I liked how some of the options were schools of thought rather than individual thinkers. I *was* a teeny bit annoyed at the purpose-of-life question where you had deontology and virtue ethics represented but not consequentialism. Other than that, though, love the quiz!

lol, my idea of life is rather... different. To say the world is absurd is stupid as absurd is not normal. The usual standard ie. our universe is normal. I just have weird expectations, there's a difference.

Cool quiz, loved it. By the way, I got Aristole as my philosopher. Well I enjoyed taking this quiz. Really it only took me in under a minute to finish it. Anyways, bye bye! Good quiz!!

I got some philosopher named Adolp Hitler or something like that.

It just said that he was a great philosopher with mighty ideals or something.

JK watch me on Cheaters weekdays @10 and sunday@4.

love u 2. LOL WTH

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.

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

Does the star system allow anything other than 7?

Excellent quiz. The research was well done, although I feel you pegged me off a bit. I find that I align with Nietzsche better than Kant.

Yep, More Spam, I sneeze in disrespect of you all.

Is truth transcendent.

Fa lse, the truth only exists in the mind of the beholder. Until it is shown and proven that the truth is false, creating an untruth. Truth is only in my mind and yours, there is no correctness, an untruth is a myth, the truth is only what we as an existence perceive as logic, which in a simple form is what allows the human mind to build consensus, to create logic and order. Truth is a myth, facts are myths, lies are myths. In order to fully understand this, hop up and down while eating a bowl of cereal from a hot pan, holding your hand under the pan, and making the bowl freezing. If the bowl shatters, logic is not a myth, if it does not, logic is not a myth, but logic states that an extreme of heat should shatter an extreme of cold, thus creating truth, or as you would see it, fact and physics. But both are false, both are not of this world, both are lies and myths, this makes no sense to you? Welcome to my mind. Welcome to the truth of existence, reality, and everything you have perceived up until this very moment. Insanity? Myth? Logic? Question? Answer? All are contingencies of the same variation, the very same variation. Nothing. Thus life and existence are meaningless, utterly and abysmally meaningless, sure, you can kill yourself, believe in god?

God is simply a man made desire to eradicate the fear of death, Satan? One in the same, both simple figures in a thick tome of recounted historical events, Jesus? Yes, very real, with enough time and effort one may be able to be as he was. One may live forever, one may even become god his/her self. Or Satan his or her self.

But the whole point of this is; if you simply believe in something, it will not exist, build a consensus of those such as believing in the same belief, of yourself and what you can create is on par with that of god, yes, you, all of you, every one, can be god.

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

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.
is the limits of my world.
can be better or worse.

lol, I love it when people who aren't philosophers try to tahke these kinds of quizes. If you don't know any philosophers, why would you take a quiz to find out which you ar emost like. lol!! Ever want to debate some time, add me on myspace. or email me...jess_artist@ya hoo.com

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

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.

Which philosopher are you?
[no urls]

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

Aristotle ill take it!

I'm Michael Jackson's real life girlfriend

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

I got Nietzsche.
I got kinda confused throughout the quiz.

WTH? First of all, I don't know who any of these people in the results are, and second of all, I don't know what "emperical" means.

I'm so happy to find out that there was a former human consciousness who was alike mine. thank you. I got Quine.
