Existentialism, by Sartre

36% Nature, 54% Rationalism, 30% Religion, 65% Freedom, 57% Individuality, 50% Power and 60% Uncertainty!

You scored highest on the variable Freedom. Freedom was an important part of Sartre's philosophy.

Jean-Paul Sartre, 1905 – 1980, France.

Sartre does not believe in unknowable or underlying truths or meanings. The only thing we can be sure of is that we die. Which gives us an incredible amount of freedom, to choose what we want to believe and how we want to live our lives. But if there's no meaning and we die anyway, this all seems futile. Kind of depressing, but it should make you live your life to the fullest!

Synthetic Perception, by Kant
60% Nature, 50% Rationalism, 40% Religion, 48% Freedom, 52% Individuality, 25% Power and 68% Uncertainty!



You didn't have the highest score in any of the 7 variables, or a score above 53% that's why Kant should suit you, he was a very broadly ranged philosopher. This is probably the hardest idea you could have gotten, but hey, I'm sure that's no problem for you!

Immanuel Kant, 1724 - 1804, Prussia (former Germany, now Russia)

The idea of synthetic perception is common knowledge now, but was quite revolutionary at the time. Until the 17th century it was usual to create great theories in your head, without even looking at the world or doing experiments. Later it was argued your mind is like a blank sheet and only your experiences create knowledge.

Kant said both were wrong (or right). The world around us provides us with things we sense. It is our mind though that uses this information and gives it order in space and time, allowing us to comprehend it. So we need both our minds and our senses to gain knowledge.



Umm yes I did. 60% & 68% are both above 53%.

I think it means that one of the two things happened - either you didn't have one really strong score, OR none of your scores were above 53%.

Personal Religion, by Kierkegaard

36% Nature, 54% Rationalism, 30% Religion, 61% Freedom, 76% Individuality, 33% Power and 48% Uncertainty!

You scored highest on the variable Individuality. Individuality was an important part of Kierkegaard's philosophy.

Søren Kierkegaard, 1813- 1855, Denmark.

Kierkegaard thought true religion should be found within yourself and not in uniformity. He did not oppose Christianity, but he opposed the Christian Church. The Church preached faith for the masses by rituals and generalization, which makes one lose its identity and leads to despair. True peace can only be found within yourself. As more and more people claim to have a personal belief/religion instead of conforming to a church, I think Kierkegaard was ahead of his time.

Cogito Ergo Sum by Descartes



48% Nature, 71% Rationalism, 35% Religion, 52% Freedom, 62% Individuality, 46% Power and 36% Uncertainty


You scored highest on the variable Rationalism.
Rationalism was an important part of Descartes' philosophy.




René Descartes, 1596 - 1650, France.


The phrase he is most famous for is Cogito Ergo Sum which means "I think therefore I am". Before Descartes, philosophy and theology were pretty much the same thing. But for the first time he didn't start with God in his reasoning, he started with humans. This was quite revolutionary at the time and caused an "explosion" in philosophy and science. We became the center of reasoning instead of god. Which implied there is nothing we won't be able to find out/understand in time.
