Which Ethical Philsopher are You?
<a href="http://www.selectsmart.com/PHILOSOPHY/" target="_blank">http://www.selectsmart.com/PHILOSOPHY/</a>
There were way too many questions I didn't understand and/or didn't understand the answer choices for... which is probably why I came out as Aquinas (I'm a frigging pagan, for crying out loud!) the first time through. Philosphy makes my head hurt, but maybe y'all will appreciate this more than I did. |

Few surprises here:
1. Rand (100%) 2. Aristotle (90%) 3. Aquinas (80%) 4. Nietzsche (78%) 5. Hume (68%) 6. Stoics (68%) 7. Plato (60%) 8. Sartre (59%) 9. Cynics (58%) 10. Hobbes (58%) 11. Mill (51%) 12. Spinoza (50%) 13. Epicureans (48%) 14. Augustine (47%) 15. Kant (39%) 16. Bentham (38%) 17. Ockham (36%) 18. Noddings (19%) 19. Prescriptivism (16%) I am somewhat surprised to see Aquinas at #3, but I gather it has something to do with how I answered the questions dealing with purpose and the source of morality.

Ockham (18%) Cool, except for Hume being lower that I would have put him and I don't consider Rand to be an original philosopher, it actually is pretty close to the order I would have put them in. |
