What Philosopher Are You?

7. Art...
satisfies the human impulse for immitation and harmony.
unless it dipicts Truth, is harmfull and delusive.
stands on it's own as immortal and trancendent.
is the most noble goal of man.
is the idealized representation of fact.

Got as far as that before my philosophy of not putting up with drivel stopped me.

This quiz is only possible to answer if you have already given up on the real world and have put your philosophical head up your own arse.

My results say that I agree 91% with Sartre and Camus, which doesn't surprise me.

Late-Wittgenstein with a lot of Sartre/Camus. Unsurprising.

I think Wittgenstein, Sartre and Camus would be fairly appalled by the quiz author's terrible spelling however...'emperical'? 'immitation'? 'trancendent'? 'alalytic'?

I agree, a lot of the questions were stupid and kind of useless. My life is filled with art and I have huge impulses to create art. Its why I am in IT where I can build things or why I am teaching myself to cook gourmet meals. A lot of my friends who get me and I get them are artists in one form or another. A friend of mine has an art show in Talledega Alabama, starting in a couple of weeks, for example.

Yet it doesn't mean art matters. Its just something someone does out of creative animal impulse and is ultimately meaningless. Of course, I find philosophy to be largely meaningless and to be the pursuit of conjecture for those who have more spare time than interesting things to do. In fact, now that I think about it, human society is pretty much meaningless beyond what meaning we, the currently living, choose to assign to it.

If you want to find truth, look to science and math. Truth is often complicated and boring, as it is devoid of human involvement, but completely fundamental as it is the foundation for everything. Without the laws of physics, nothing would exist in its present form. If you want to find meaning, look to yourself and create it from the void. That's how I see life. Meaning is when our neurochemicals give us the experience of pleasure. That's why we care to be perfectly objective about it.

How the hell did I not get existentialist? lol

Art is a life well lived.
 
Aristotle.
And apparently grammar doesn't matter...
"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."
 
92% Aristotle.

I was not satisfied with the choices for some of the questions.

Satre and Camus.

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).
 
Nietzsche, of course.
 
I got 83% Aristotle. Some Plato and Wittgenstein.

0% Nietzsche... Yay! Finally got rid of that old immoralist. Feels good, like... eliminating waste!

My result was similar to yours (84%) BUT I differentiate between "truth" and "fact" because of the common usage of truth, which has little to do with fact.

If I use the dictionary definition (truth = fact) I end up with Aristotle at 77% and Positivism at 65%.
 
Aristotle, although some of the questions weren't well presented and I had to make some assumptions that I'm not sure were shared by the quiz maker.

I don't see how it's kissing ass to inform the mods you have no ill intent should they deem your post to be in the wrong forum section.

Your Result: Early Wittgenstein / Positivists

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 think this is accurate. I daresay that this is the most practical viewpoint in philosophy.

88% Aristotle, 78% Plato (strict rationalists)

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.
