Which Philosopher Are You Test

Edmund Husserl

Your philosopher is Edmund Gustav Albrecht Husserl, (April 8, 1859 - April 26, 1938), philosopher, was born into a Jewish family in Prostějov (Prossnitz), Moravia, Czech Republic (then part of the Austrian Empire). He is known as the "father" of phenomenology. You concentrate on the ideal, essential structures of consciousness. You think that that the world of objects is normally conceived of in what he called the "natural attitude", which is characterized by a belief that objects themselves have certain properties and in seeing these objects we come to understand what is inherent in them.

Søren Kierkegaard

Your philosopher is Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (May 5, 1813 - November 11, 1855), a 19th century Danish philosopher who is generally recognized as the first existentialist philosopher. Much of his work deals with religious problems such as the nature of faith, the institution of the Christian church, and Christian ethics and theology. Kierkegaard is best known for the concept of the 'leap of faith'. You value true individuality. Becoming aware of your true self is your true task and endeavor in life. It is an ethical imperative, necessary to achieve true spirituality. To you, people who live simply in terms of their pleasures - their immediate satisfaction of desires, propensities, or distractions - simply glide through life without direction or purpose. To have a direction, we must have a purpose that defines for us the meaning of our lives.

• You scored 44% on realism, higher than 31% of your peers.
• You scored 22% on rationalism, higher than 1% of your peers.
• You scored 39% on materialism, higher than 44% of your peers.
• You scored 56% on atomism, higher than 86% of your peers.

honestly, I find the test did not give enough leeway, I MIGHT save a cat at the risk of myself, depends on how you define risking one's life, maybe I'm spectacularly adept at surviving said "risky" situation


in the end I reject this and in response to the question, I make claim that I am

"all of them."

depending on the mental state of mind by which one operates the usefulness of a given philosophy is in the fact that it's the best method of organizing one's world that one is capable of, this means that to the receiver any given truth is a truth, within a certain context, the only question left is, which context and which mood do you find yourself in?" - I would guess that he who can understand all accepts all but finds that each may be more useful in different situations, and thus from this comes my attempt to understand each of them and apply the best one in the right situation, to transcend each of them by understanding all of them

this has a price though, I have no real way of organizing them seriously as of yet, so I always go back to the age old practice of going off and playing games and screaming BOOM HEADSHOT, real life is my "calvin ball" where you can make the rules that agents play by, but physical reality itself stays the same regardless, and I need distractions badly

Well, that's a no-brainer. I'm not very excited about this evaluation. Seems boring.

Hegel

Your philosopher is Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (August 27, 1770 - November 14, 1831), a German philosopher born in Stuttgart, Württemberg, in present-day southwest Germany. Hegel's thought represents the summit of 19th Century Germany's movement of philosophical idealism. It would come to have a profound impact on many future philosophical schools such as Existentialism, as well as the historical materialism of Karl Marx. Like Hegel, you believe that there is an underlying reality, w would-force or world-spirit, that is moving us inevitably forward. You believe that we are all swept up in the movement of this force as it struggles toward self-realization. Politically, you believe that absolute freedom is possible when the will of the individual merges with the will of the state. You seek, in other words, the union of the particular with the universal. In your day to day life, what this means is that you see each event, each coincidence, as evidence of a larger whole.


It's odd, I enjoy Hegel, but I had myself pegged closer to Sartre or Mill.

I got Husserl which is a bit suprising and a little disappointing... it looks like a lot of people got him as a result though

There are worse I suppose.
