Which Philosopher are You? - A Quiz
#19085311 - 11/04/13 01:04 PM (10 years, 2 months ago) |
|

Despite the typos, and at times, poor selection of responses, I found this amusing and came in with Immanuel Kant at 89%, Plato was the next percentage at 77%. I thought I'd come out as Plato. I can't complain about the inadequacy of the test though. I've also long been interested in Kierkegaard, whom I first read in college, maybe 1974, and later in seminary, and whom I last read this summer (The Concept of Anxiety) - book I began a few years ago and completed this summer when I was going through a lot of anxiety.
"I ask: What am I supposed to do if I do not want to be a philosopher, I am well aware that I like other philosophers will have to mediate the past. For one thing, this is no answer to my question 'What am I supposed to do?' for even if I had the most brilliant philosophical mind there ever was, there must be something more I have to do besides sitting and contemplating the past. Second, I am a married man and far from being a philosophical brain, but in all respect I turn to the devotees of this science to find out what I am supposed to do. But I receive no answer, for philosophy mediates the past and is in the past-philosophy hastens so fast into the past that, as a poet says of an antiquarian, only his coattails remain in the present. See, here you are at one with the philosophers. What unites you is that life comes to a halt. For the philosopher, world history is ended, and he mediates. This accounts for the repugnant spectacle that belongs to the order of the day in our age-to see young people who are able to mediate Christianity and paganism, who are able to play games with the titanic forces of history, and who are unable to tell a simple human being what he has to do here in life, nor do they know what they themselves have to do." - Soren Kierkegaard in Either/Or Vol II, Hong, pp. 171ff

The answers should be broader.
Unlike you, I scored:
0% Immanuel Kant
Your Result: Sartre/Camus (late existentialists) 72%
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. 66% W.v.O. Quine / Late Wittgenstein 62% Nietzsche

Nietzsche - 70%
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!" --This quiz was made by S. A-Lerer.

That's because the default of all the answers tries to average them down to 50%. Since there aren't as many questions pertaining to that answer group, it naturally has a slightly higher percentage to compensate. There were only two real questions that pertained to those philosophers specifically. Answer the Mathematics question as "web of our beliefs" (Quine's words) and the Language one as our "limits" (Wittgenstein) and you'll probably pull out with the same answer of Quine / Late Wittgenstein.

Yeah. He just ended up taking a break from philosophy to teach and do other things. In his early career, he was recognized by other brilliant analytical philosophers like Bertrand Russell. He actual met Bertrand Russell, and Russell actually encouraged Wittgenstein to pursue philosophy because he thought he was intelligent and had a lot to say. After Wittgenstein wrote Tractatus (which is based a lot of logic and how it relates to the world) he just took a break from it. Russell thought it was brilliant. This is considered early Wittgenstein.
Later after taking time off and reflecting over his work, he came to write Philosophical Investigations. (This marks the later Wittgenstein) In PI, he tends to contradict what he had said years earlier in Tractatus. This book was more about how the problems that arise in Philosophy (and other fields) are all in their relationship to language. Part of what Wittgenstein gets at later in his life, is that systems are pretty arbitrary (like logic) and he claims that they're problems that only arise within the language-game of logic. Bertrand Russell hated it, and claimed that Wittgenstein got lazy and gave up "real philosophy" for hogwash. Personally, I enjoy the later Wittgenstein more. Later Wittgenstein really emphasized language, language-games, how natural language is (its fluidity), and how language paints our worldviews.

Particular these two questions seem to pigeon hole you into an "or" type False Dichotomy.
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)

What I thought was BS was that if you answered "We should strive to be..." with "an ethical person, always acting in good will" then it added like 30% to your similarity to Kant. Kant wasn't the only philosopher who said people should act ethically.

This quiz didn't have variety enough in available questions and answers to be valid, and also didn't have a variety of results wide enough for me to consider it accurate. I did take it anyways though For science!
My highest score was 88% for W.V.O. Quine/Late Wittgenstein. Seems accurate, my philosophies are fairly based around analyticism and logic, and I feel as though verbal/written language is a poor form of primary communication 
Second highest was Aristotle at 61%
Third was Early Wittgenstein at 59%
Fourth was Nietzsche at 58%
Fifth was Sartre/Camus at 46%
Sixth was Immanuel Kant at 39%
I got 0% for Plato

82% W.v.O. Quine / Late Wittgenstein
"There is no provable absolute truth. The way you see things is dependant on your language. Truths exist only within a language, and change as the language does."
but I also scored 82% Nietzsche... wonder why Quine/Wittgenstein came up ranked first. 78% Sartre/Camus (late existentialists), and 58% Aristotle. My philosophical beliefs do tend to parallel Wittgenstein and Nietzsche's with a little existentialism thrown in, so I'm content with my results. 
Fun lil test, thanks for sharing.

Ungh. I have no idea what this represents. And further confusing me is the comment (not shown here, but on my results page) is that I didn't answer all the questions. I went back and checked, and all I could find was the 12 that I did answer.

I seem to be the only one who got Early Wittgenstein / Positivists 84%
"The ambiguity of language is the cause for most (if not all) philosophical problems. If we could get a purely objective language all philosophical problems would be solved. Q.E.D. --This quiz was made by S. A-Lerer."
I'd agree to that. If not solved at least agreed upon.

I'd say you're more like a Voltaire, his works criticized intolerance and had him banned from Paris by Louis XV.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.
