Which philosopher are you?

88% Sartre/Camus
In the other quiz, which philosopher do you think like? I got 74% Lao Tzu (that feels more like me to me)
That was fun! Thanks for the link.

Your Result: Sartre/Camus (late existentialists)
93%

I still wrestle with whether math exists in reality or not.

My results...



Disappointed by the selection, though... No Hume or Popper, but *two* entries for Wittgenstein?

Your Result: 77% 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.

Result Breakdown:
77% Immanuel Kant
72% Plato (strict rationalists)
54% Aristotle
42% Early Wittgenstein / Positivists
24% Sartre/Camus (late existentialists)
12% W.v.O. Quine / Late Wittgenstein
5% Nietzsche

I never seem to relate to people who like to quote Nietzsche (I've noticed he's a favourite of psychopaths), so in that regard this result is not surprising. I thought Aristotle might be higher up in my results, though. There were a couple of questions for which none of the answers really seemed to reflect my ideas/mindset at all and I had to try to pick the least unfit answer.

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.

Result Breakdown:
83% Sartre/Camus (late existentialists)

0% Plato (strict rationalists)

I got Aristotle.

Took it just before bed. Was too tired to cut and paste. I think mine was:

Mainly Camus and the absurdists.

But also heavy on Aristotle.

Heavy on empiricism.

Heavy on the positivists, and "early Wittgenstein" (as opposed to the Las Vegas Wittgenstein?).

53 percent on Nietzsche

Less than five percent Plato.

I'm not very Platonic. More Aristotlean. Practice, practice, practice LOL

I'm into the Socratic sort of dialogue, which Plato, of course, recorded for posterity.

There's a slight element of Nietzsche in me, though I don't believe in the Ubermensch.

I like John Stuart Mill, too, and Adam Smith.

I don't care too much for people like Malthus, with his population theories.

I'm ore in tune to the Enlightenment than to the metaphysical types.

I do believe in "I think, therefore, I am," by Descartes.

I also believe in the "blank slate" by Rousseau.

I'm more of a Groucho Marxist than a Karl Marxist.

I do believe, superficially, in the Dialectic.

I'm primarily an Empiricist, but not a totally strict one.

All in all, to follow one philosophical theory narrows one's scope.

My results:

88% for both Late Existentialists (Camus and Sartre) and Aristotle

Early Wittenstein: 54%

Nietzsche: 53%

W.v.O quine--Late Wittenstein: 38%

Immanuel Kant: 14%

Plato (Strict Rationalists): 4%

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.
