I got 70%, pretty good for somebody who has never studied philosophy.
Personally, it's not God I dislike, it's his fan club I can't stand.

16/20

80%

Two of them I was unsure about and guessed 1 out of the two answers I thought it was. In both cases my 50/50 guess was wrong though. Could have almost have easily been 17/20 or 18/20, but I'm still happy with it because I've never had any training, I just like dictionaries, thesauruses and Wikipedia Wink

All of reason is based upon a single fundamental... the syntax and vocabulary used serve to do nothing but exclude the less educated from philosophy.

I have never allowed societal definition to stop me from reasoning. Smile I am rather unconcerned with the 'field of study' questions, and therefore I leave them blank. (Although, I do know what is asked, and the answer they think correct.)

Btw... unless all creatures are people... some humans might not be people... unless a person is only so because they are human... in which case other advanced species are not people. It is the first one that would be most correct in the definition of "person". But as the question itself presents: this definition varies... a lot. Same with the definition of gods.... and the same with the definition of 1.

1 + 1 = 2... because one is always equal to itself... but what formulates one? That is a good question Smile (I.E. I am 'one' person... but I am made up of many atoms... which are made up of many sub-atoms, and those could be made up of many strings.) Even the fundamental of all reason is not defined the same for everyone. To some Christians, three separate entities are considered to be one Smile... then again, that is unreasonable... but the fact remains: things are defined differently by different people. Smile

And when does a one, and another one... become two? That too is a definition open to question.

As this is a test of the knowledge of definitions: I know only my own. I therefore do not take the test. Smile

Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
