I find it amazing how many people here are so close to Hobbes. Seriously, what a let down that guy is, always focusing on the bad and amplifying to every extreme.

3. John Stuart Mill (86%)
4. Kant (66%)
5. Epicureans (61%)
6. Ayn Rand (60%)

8. Aquinas (52%)
9. Prescriptivism (51%)

Now it would be nice if I knew who these people were. I guess it is time to click the information links. I DO know a little about Ayn Rand and John Stuart Mill.

RE: Ethical Philosophy Selector
I got 0 down the line. Answered e to all the questions with low priority. Priority is how strongly you feel about the topic, Saerules. Anyway my reasoning for answering e to every question was that each question is open for interpretation, therefore the answers should have been open-ended instead of limited response. It is not for any man to give a justifiable opinion that of which will over rule or compensate for a lack of human emotion. It is not our place to decide for others the way that they should live.
The more questions we ask, the less answers we'll have.

And yet... one could say the same of our place to decide anything at all. Smile

We still do it. 'Right' or 'wrong' as it may be. Smile

That is why I did not choose any correct answer, it is not my place to decide.

Then pray tell who's place is it? Smile

If we decide nothing... then what can we do at all?

I disliked the test for being so limited... I wonder if someday I'll be on that list Wink
