Cool test, thanks Solitary!

Here's my result:

Your result for The What's Your Philosophy? Test ...

Rationalist
67 optimism, 48 faith, and 56 logic!



Rationalism is the most scientific of the philosophies. No matter how bizarre something may seem, rationalists will always discount the supernatural. To them, there is no such thing as a mystical, otherworldly explanation for anything, no exceptions. Everything, no matter how strange, can be proven through science sooner or later. If something is genuine, there is an explanation for it.

Famous rationalists include: Baruch Spinoza.

The opposite of Rationalism is Existentialism.

Optimist - Optimists are a dying breed in this day and age. To the optimists, the world is a positive place. Everything is inherently good, and all things will work out in the end. They believe violence will one day be replaced with logic and reason, and that all religions can coexisist peacefully. These are the people who always see the glass half full, and believe that we live in the best possible world.

Famous optimists include: Gottfried Leibniz, William Godwin.

The opposite of Optimism is Skepticism.

This test is so bogus. It couldn't be more far off than how I feel most of the time. =P Maybe it's because I still believe in Religion.

If I may ask, what religion do you believe in?

[/DG/]

Well, I belong to a Catholic Christian church, but I reject some of the teachings and substitute my own. Plus I don't attend church any more, which I suppose is a very big sin in my religion.

Existentialist.

?

I don't think everything is pointless. I think I said "I'm not sure" too much.

Exactly that is why you are an existentialist.

Regressionist.

[Queen Kat]

Realist.

63 optimism, 54 faith, and 44 logic!



Realists are the only philosophers not actively seeking answers. They are content with accepting that the world around them exists, and don't bother themselves about how we came to be. They focus on where we're going, rather than how we got here. Realists also tend to be interested in "universals" - concepts that can describe large groups, rather than single objects. For example, there are more interested in the human race as a whole, rather than specific types of people. This philosophy is also sometimes called Idealism.

Famous realists include: Plato.

The opposite of Realism is Foundationalism.

Regressionist

39 optimism, 38 faith, and 73 logic!

Regressionists believe that every question must have an answer, and anything that cannot be answered must not be true. Thus, their search for truth is based around asking the question "Why?" rather than "How?". They're also the most annoying type to have a conversation with. "It's hot today." "Why?" "Because there's no clouds blocking the sun, and no wind to create a breeze." "Why?" "Because the vapors in the air haven't condensed enough to form clouds, and the wind patterns haven't shifted to our region." "Why?" And so on. Famous regressionists include: Paul Feyerabend. The opposite of Regressionism is Spiritualism.
