Apparently I don’t much agree with any of ‘em, but I’m closest to Hume, Epicurus and Diogenes, with a little bit of Aristotle.

My brane is hurting too much to do that right now.

Your traits are closest to those of Kant.

I would have guessed that.

Hume: Hume was skeptical of most beliefs – be they religious or derived from pure rationality without experimental data to back them up. Consequently, friction with the settled orthodoxies of his time was a constant theme in his life. Like the other empiricists that preceded him, Hume believed that the contents of the mind came only from experience. Hume is known for the is-ought divide, also called Hume’s Fork: The proposition that it is not possible to derive an “is” from an “ought” (e.g., we cannot go from the moral proposition that everyone ought to be equally smart to the factual proposition that everyone is equally smart). Hume also proposed tremendous challenges to concepts like causation and induction – challenges that some consider have never been solved to this day.

Similar to mine then.

Just more of a bugger for the bottle.

Sounds about right.

Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
And don’t get me started on Kant.

Just reading about Diogenes:

Interesting character.

I was stuck in the middle for a good number of those questions.

Have to remind myself what Kant said that apparently I don’t agree with.

I got up to question 3. Using words like good and evil without defining them makes the questions meaningless. I’m beyond good and evil.

I had similar misgivings about the questions.

I’m glad I done it. Now I know exactly where I stand on the philo spectrum.

I’ll have another go at it later. I’m not feeling the best. Might retire early.

Thought so.

Seems most people here are a good bit Kantian than I am.

Quite a few of the questions I left the pointer in the middle because I thought they were too ambiguous to give a vote in favour or against.

OTOH, perhaps you should whatever is your preferred definition of good and evil.

ah well at least we’re the most philosopher of all of yous

Cool !

Surely we have all had that going through our heads as we read this thread anyway.

But I did enjoy the intro :)

I wonder why he didn’t call the ladies Sheilas. I mean everyone else was Bruce.

> Apparently I don’t much agree with any of ‘em, but I’m closest to Hume, Epicurus and Diogenes, with a little bit of Aristotle.

Excellent ! I would agree with that.

I don’t need the test because I already know:

I have a love of Hume.

I have a hatred of Nietzsche.

I would walk a long way to avoid Kant.

Plato is just plain wrong most of the time, but not always.

I like Aristotle.

Epicurus and Diogenes I don’t know well.

So you agree with my philosophical tendencies?

That’s a bit of a worry ;)

Thanks!

Would you believe I’ve never seen that? Or heard the music.

I’ve heard about multiple bits of it. Bruce, Bruce and Bruce, etc.

Now that’s a brilliant question !
I have a friend who literally worships Heidegger. Mentions his name at least once every single time I visit.

However, I have to admit to never having read his work, or read about it.
wikipedia suggests that he was a follower of Nietzsche and Satre?

What does our resident philosopher, transition, say about Heidegger?
What does sarah’s mum think of Heidegger?
