Philosophy Quiz 2

[cyu]

Would've tried to add this to http://www.revleft.com/vb/philosophy-quiz-t22731/index.html or http://www.revleft.com/vb/philosophical-tests-t66388/index.html but they're both closed, so...

Interesting "choose your own adventure" from http://www2.open.ac.uk/openlearn/philosophy/castle-forest-island-sea.html#2q.1c

...this is what I got (although I cringe at being lumped together with Hobbes - and I'm not so well read to know all these guys):

You've explored the castle. You've made your choices. And here's what we know about you:

You're fairly forgiving, at heart; you agreed with the robin more than the blackbird, and you don't like blaming people for their decisions.

You value pleasure, but not at the cost of everything else - there are clear limits to how far you'll take the pursuit of enjoyment.



If you're looking to investigate some philosophers you agree with, there are a few places you can look. You could try Aristotle and Epicurus, who agree with you on the nature of desire. You, Socrates and Thomas Hobbes all feel similarly about weak will. You're on the same page as John Rawls about collective responsibility. And Max Weber feels similarly to you with regard to whether it's possible to be too rational.

And if you want to challenge your opinions and seek out people you instinctively disagree with, there are plenty of them as well. You think very differently to David Hume about whether desires can be rational. You disagree with Aristotle about weak will.

[slum]

this was clever, i like it.


You're a pretty harsh judge; you agreed with the blackbird more often than the robin, and you're quite willing to declare someone irrational or say that they made the wrong decision.

You value pleasure, but not at the cost of everything else - there are clear limits to how far you'll take the pursuit of enjoyment.

[consuming negativity]

You don't seem to value pleasure very highly: you don't object to it, but it isn't your primary motivator.

Thoughts: that was fun but I didn't figure out you could change things until maybe halfway through chapter two. I can't see colors very well and so this could probably be a bit more accurate. Had I known it was so fucking long I'd had just restarted so it would be more accurate. But it was fun.

Playing this now, I dig this sort of thing. I used to play the regular choose-your-own-adventure books as a kid and am relatively new to "classic" philosophy.

Did I miss chapter 3? I don't remember crossing chapter 3...

edit: scratch that guess I did
