What Kind of Philosopher Are You? (http://www.quizony.com/what-kind-of-philosopher-are-you/index.html)
I got:
QuoteYour mind works like the philosopher
Thomas Paine
An anarchist who championed reason and free thought, Thomas Paine was never afraid to speak his mind no matter how unpopular or revolutionary his theories were. Like Paine, you see life as full of possibilities and love to shake up the status quo by thinking outside the box. You are spontaneous and communicate confidently and fluidly. Could you write a post to inspire world-transforming events like Paine's pamphlet 'Common Sense' influenced the start of the American Revolution? Who knows? (But we think it might be worth a try.)
Who did you get?
Not really sure how they got this from the answers I gave:
QuoteConfucious
Although he is famous for his wise sayings, Confucius was far from radical in his philosophy. As an ethical moralist, he believed in keeping to the established order for social relationships and saw the family unit as the basis for ideal government. Like Confucious, you believe strongly in traditional family values, social grouping, and personal and governmental integrity. You are honest and upfront, and your friends know that you can be relied upon for help and advice.
Take it for what it is worth:
Noam Chomsky
QuoteKnown as the 'father of modern linguistics,' Noam Chomsky is also known as an analytical philosopher and as a founder of the field of cognitive science. He's also an outspoken libertarian, anarchist, and anti-war radical. Although the causes for which you speak out may be different from Chomsky, like him, you are an activist who refuses to blindly follow the rules or accept things at face value. You are naturally curious, and your questioning mind won't stop until it finds logical solutions to the problems you see around you.
QuoteYour mind works like the philosopher
Aristotle
Greek philosopher Aristotle is famous for formulating the theories that form the basis of modern philosophical thought. Like Aristotle, you have an inquisitive and active mind and enjoy a wide range of interests. You can be extremely practical and logical, but also love to consider more existential lines of thought, such as 'What is a friend?' or 'How does my mind work?' Creative and inspirational, your original ideas often influence others, and you enjoy teaching others and are happy to step into the role of leader.
Fits.
QuoteRene Descartes
French philosopher Descartes is considered to have founded the school of modern Western philosophy. A rational moralist who viewed ethics as a science, he is most famous for his statement, 'I think therefore I am.' Like Descartes, you are quiet and contained, preferring to be alone conducting research or formulating theories than out partying. Your analytical mind loves to reason out explanations for unsolved mysteries and scientific enigmas, and your solutions are often unique and creative.
The quiz tells me that I am most aligned with Rene DesCartes. :rimshot:
Rene Descartes but I like partying.
Aristotle for me
Aristotle.
Another Tom Paine here, unsurprisingly. :D

Davin as well; again, no surprise. ;)
I would quibble that Paine was no anarchist. Though I've described myself as one at various points in the past, I'm not idealistic enough any more to fit the bill.
QuoteIn Agrarian Justice and Rights of Man [Thomas Paine] outlined the principles that would become the basis of the welfare state, help for the poor, aged, and young. He supported taxation of the rich to fund these programs. He also fought for a strong central government based on his principles of human rights. The phrase "at best, government is a necessary evil" is often misinterpreted: only the "evil" part is elaborated, and the "necessary" part is given short shrift.

That's OK, to celebrate your being back I'll make a pie. Do you like blackberry?
And funny thing, I retook the quiz and instead of giving my "patient" answers which got me Confucius, I gave me "out of patience" answers which put me in the T. Paine club. Still debating with myself whether this is some kind of statement or a silly glitch.

Does it really matter? :smileshake:
What really matters is that (maybe) deep, deep down, you would like to be part of
The T. Paine Club. I don't blame you. Looks like a very nice group of people. :tellmemore:
