Philosophical Match-Making

Whose Ethics Do You Share?

July 13, 2004 2:27:35 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
So here's an interesting site that lets you answer questions and matches your responses to the ethics ideals of famous philosophers.

Link: http://selectsmart.com/PHILOSOPHY

My top 5:
1. Jean-Paul Sartre (100%)
2. Kant (91%) - I rather suspected this result
3. Ayn Rand (77%)
4. Stoics (77%)
5. David Hume (76%)

The site offers a brief synopsis of the philosophers, as well as amazon.com links to their works.

I really don't like my results. I have never thought my views were this rigid!

1. Spinoza (100%)
2. St. Augustine (92%)
3. Aquinas (71%)
4. Stoics (63%)
5. Jean-Paul Sartre (63%)

I guess I feel that these top five, are all very different!

Sartre seems to be a pretty popular fellow.

I'm glad I got Nietzsche and Rand, because those are the only two I've really read.

I'd never heard of Bentham or Spinoza, and never would have guessed that I had anything in common with Aquinas. This is a great quiz!
