Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the lurkiest of them all?

On mah tiny netbook, so I'm not gonna crop a screenshot, but here's my results: 1. Kant (100%) 2. John Stuart Mill (83%) 3. Jean-Paul Sarte (79%) 4. Aquinas (78%) 5. Jeremy Bentham (75%) 6. Ayn Rand (74%) 7. Aristotle (74%) 8. St. Augustine (67%) 9. Spinoza (61%) 10. Stoics (58%) 11. Plato (56%) 12. Epicureans (52%) 13. Okham (50%) 14. Nietzche (49%) 15. David Hume (43%) 16. Prescriptivism (41%) 17. Cynics (32%) 18. Nel Noddings (23%) 19. Thomas Hobbes (11%) More or less what I expected - Kant, Mill, Bentham, Aquinas, and Augustine high on the list. I guess I don't know as much about Sartre and Ayn Rand as I thought, because I didn't forsee them showing up so high. |

Yay! Another trend of pointless quizes is starting... Is it wrong that I scored so highly for Nietzche? Is it wrong that Nietzche makes more sense to me than Sartre?

Only if you measure correctness by agreeing with my results, in which case those are all horribly misplaced :lol: :P Then feel free to follow the links that were provided with your quiz results. In the age of the internet, there is no excuse for not looking up things you don't know when you come across them. Also, what are you learning in school? I had learned about a fair number of these ethicists at your age. Edited by Rhadamanthus, Nov 4 2009, 06:35 PM.

Nel Noddings (24%) My question is this: is it people that are unduly biased towards Aquinas or the quiz itself? Also, I felt like a lot of those questions didn't have an answer that was in line with my beliefs, so my results are very much approximate. Edited by Al Araam, Nov 4 2009, 06:41 PM.

I never learned this in K-12. Closest I ever came was Hobbes, Rousseau and Montague ext in history with regards to political theories that emerged in the 15-18 centuries. At some point I learned who Plato was, a philosopher, or who ______ was, a philosopher. Never really in depth though on their theories though. 98% of my knowledge on them comes from the philosophy class I took last year, and the one I am in now... |

Well, I'd say there are a couple throwaways in the list, but I'd say that most should be covered by the end of high school, with a couple college courses filling out the other important ones. Maybe my education was above par? I weep for the future. But still, Atticus has a great boon in that he can look up any of the people he doesn't know on the internet. That's easier than ever nowadays, so people are lucky now in that way. |

We never learned any of those, save for the few that Flumes mentioned. And truthfully, I have more important things to do than look up philosophy. I know its at my fingertips, I just don't have the time. |

Yep. I was more then happy with my education in high school. I went to a public school that got the highest rating possible in Ohio, and sent 99% to college. Philosophy just isn't part of the curriculum. Personally, I'm happy for that. If they didn't require philosophy in college, I wouldn't take it. |

Well, I'm not going to try to convince either of you about what is important - I'll just register my disagreement. |

This could end bad! :lol: :unsure: I shall register my disagreement with your disagreement to his disagreement to your disagreement to my original point. ... Honestly though, Philosophy isn't my cup of tea. I think ethics was a good class to take mainly because I learned about forming a strong, sound argument. Besides that, with regards to the arguments formed by philosophical greats, I could care less. I'd much rather devote studying to developing a product or service that will help me gain wealth, and also meet peoples demands. The process of doing so, I am confident, will make me happy. I won't kill to achieve that goal... Morality achieved! :rolleyes: |
