    Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm (1844-1900)
    # We have free will
    # There is no God
    # Social conformity should not hold us back
    # The interests of others should not restrain us
    # We should be passionate beings
    # Masculinity, strength and passion are the highest qualities in a person
    # Conventional morality is a crutch to man

    Hmm, it is like me.

    Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980)
    # When we choose something, we affirm the value of our choice because we have chosen it above other choices
    # When we choose something for ourselves, we should choose it for all people. (Well, I dont believe in this though)
    # We must be consistent in our interpretations of moral situations regardless of whom the agent is.
    # Logic cannot help us specific situations
    # Making conscious moral choices is more significant than consistently following moral guidelines
    # The conflict between the interests of two people is in the end, irresolvable

          Strangely ... I got two 100%'s ....



          Ayn Rand (1905-1982) - 100%

          We should all act with our own interests as the ultimate goal of our actions.
          We have free will.
          Moral standards are objective, and can be known rationally.


          Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) - 100%

          We can make a prior judgments; the negation of such judgments would a logical absurdity because a priori knowledge is known without sensory data.
          We combine a priori and a posteriori knowledge to
          We have freedom
          God is not essential for his moral argumentation
          The objective facts about the human knowledge leads to Kant's morality
          We must act ought of a sense of duty in order to be moral
          Moral action does not come out of following inclinations
          Moral standards must be followed without qualification
          We must always act so that the means of our actions could be a universal law
          We must always treat people as ends not means


          Mill, John Stuart (1806-1873) - 95%

          The Utilitarian principle is correct when the quality of pleasures is accounted for
          Liberty is the most important pleasure


          Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) - 91%

          The life of virtue is rewarding for the individual and the community.
          The essence of a thing does not exist independent of the thing.
          There is no completely universal idea of "the good."
          There is an individualized ideal form for all living things.
          In living in accordance with their true nature, humans will find the most enjoyment out of reasoning.
          An investigation of human nature can reveal how humans ought to act.
          Humans have a pre-defined purpose.
          People can have variations on the best way to exist in order to meet their purpose.
          The mean between the extremes of any given characteristic is the ideal.
          The rule of the "Golden Mean" is not to be applied mechanically
          Aristotle discusses having practical knowledge as being able to have the right means to one's action and the right ends


          Spinoza, Baruch (later known as Benedictus) - 89%
          (1632-1677)

          Determinist
          Something must have a desirable affect on man in order to be good
          Must understand determinism of the world

            Mill, John Stuart (1806-1873)

            The Utilitarian principle is correct when the quality of pleasures is accounted for
            Liberty is the most important pleasure

            Utilitarianism

            Strives for moral objectivity
            We ought to act in such a way that the consequence of our actions produce the greatest overall amount of good or utility
            Rightness dependent on the consequences of the action
            Consequences viewed in terms of how they affect everyone


            Aquinas (1225 or '27-1274) 91%

            All life has a purpose
            Meeting this purpose allows one to be happy.
            Happiness is to be found in the love of God.
            God's grace providing entrance into heaven creates the highest form of human happiness.
            Short of heaven, a person can achieve a more limited form of happiness through a life of virtue and friendship.
            Morality is not determined by the arbitrary will of God.
            Morality is derived from human nature and the activities that are objectively suited to it.
            The difference between right and wrong can be appreciated through the use of reason and reflection.
            Religious reflection may supplement the use of reason and reflection to determine right from wrong.
            Societies must enact laws to ensure the correct application of moral reasoning.
            Human nature is good because God made it good.

            Spinoza, Baruch (later known as Benedictus) 90%
            (1632-1677)

            Determinist
            Something must have a desirable affect on man in order to be good
            Must understand determinism of the world


            Aquinas-St.Augustine-Spinoza Quite a mix?!

                  19. Thomas Hobbes (22%)

                  Augustine (354-430)
                  • Happiness is a union of the soul with God after one has died
                  • Bodily pleasures are relatively inferior to spiritual pleasures.
                  • Philosophical reasoning is not the path to wisdom and happiness.
                  • A love of God and faith in Jesus is the only path to happiness.
                  • God is the one to allow people to practice the love of God.
                  • One must love God in order to fulfill moral law.
                  • People are inherently evil; only the grace of God (or is it merit to be saved?) can save them.


                  This is me to a tee. I would clarify that it is the grace of God which saves, and not the merit of the person.

                      Okay, this is an interesting site. I don't want to be a nay-sayer, but come on now! A person's philosophical moral base cannot be determined with a short survey. All of the concepts listed are taken out of context! I only wish morality were this simple.

                        I'm suprised that Sartre is on top on the list - I did not enjoy reading him, perhaps it had to do with the particular work "Nausea" -- but I did love Camus and also I'm suprised by low Hobbes is on the list - Yes, I realize 7 or 8 questions listing influences (some of whiom I am not familiar with), is a stretch, but it was fun.

                        Neitzsche at 49% - incredible, didn't care much for his ideas, so unrestrainted, maybe I'm too much of Muusli'im
