My result:
Will to Power, by Nietzsche
28% Nature, 63% Rationalism, 55% Religion, 39% Freedom, 57% Individuality, 67% Power and 40% Uncertainty!

You scored highest on the variable Power. Power and being strong were important parts of Nietzsche's philosophy.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, 1844 – 1900, Germany.

Nietzsche says that all what people and animals really want is power; living in itself is only necessary to gain power. He refers to many incidents in which people and animals willingly risk their lives in order to promote their power, especially in competitive fighting and warfare. Well, this would explain all the warfare going on in this world, wouldn't it.

Personal Religion, by Kierkegaard
56% Nature, 50% Rationalism, 35% Religion, 61% Freedom, 67% Individuality, 50% Power and 44% Uncertainty!
You scored highest on the variable Individuality. Individuality was an important part of Kierkegaard's philosophy.

Søren Kierkegaard, 1813- 1855, Denmark.

Kierkegaard thought true religion should be found within yourself and not in uniformity. He did not oppose Christianity, but he opposed the Christian Church. The Church preached faith for the masses by rituals and generalization, which makes one lose its identity and leads to despair. True peace can only be found within yourself. As more and more people claim to have a personal belief/religion instead of conforming to a church, I think Kierkegaard was ahead of his time.

Existentialism, by Sartre

56% Nature, 50% Rationalism, 30% Religion, 65% Freedom, 57% Individuality, 42% Power and 52% Uncertainty!
You scored highest on the variable Freedom. Freedom was an important part of Sartre's philosophy.

Jean-Paul Sartre, 1905 – 1980, France.
Sartre does not believe in unknowable or underlying truths or meanings. The only thing we can be sure of is that we die. Which gives us an incredible amount of freedom, to choose what we want to believe and how we want to live our lives. But if there's no meaning and we die anyway, this all seems futile. Kind of depressing, but it should make you live your life to the fullest!


Hm. I believe in underlying truths, but maybe not in a supernatural sense.

You scored highest on the variable Rationalism.

Rationalism was an important part of Descartes' philosophy.









René Descartes, 1596 - 1650, France.





The phrase he is most famous for is Cogito Ergo Sum which means "I think therefore I am". Before Descartes, philosophy and theology were pretty much the same thing. But for the first time he didn't start with God in his reasoning, he started with humans. This was quite revolutionary at the time and caused an "explosion" in philosophy and science. We became the center of reasoning instead of god. Which implied there is nothing we won't be able to find out/understand in time.

the Scala Naturae by Aristotle

64% Nature, 50% Rationalism, 30% Religion, 52% Freedom, 57% Individuality, 42% Power and 48% Uncertainty!

You scored highest on the variable Nature, Biology was an important part of Aristotle's philosophy.



Aristotle, 384 BC – 322 BC, Greece



Aristotle created the foundations of Nature. He introduced the idea that nature is composed of things that change and that studying such changes can provide useful knowledge of underlying constants. Also he believed that creatures were arranged in a graded scale of perfection rising from plants on up to man, the scala naturae.

It's not an evolution theory yet, but a good start.

Synthetic Perception, by Kant
40% Nature, 29% Rationalism, 50% Religion, 43% Freedom, 57% Individuality, 29% Power and 72% Uncertainty!
You didn't have the highest score in any of the 7 variables, or a score above 53% that's why Kant should suit you, he was a very broadly ranged philosopher. This is probably the hardest idea you could have gotten, but hey, I'm sure that's no problem for you!

Immanuel Kant, 1724 - 1804, Prussia (former Germany, now Russia)

The idea of synthetic perception is common knowledge now, but was quite revolutionary at the time. Until the 17th century it was usual to create great theories in your head, without even looking at the world or doing experiments. Later it was argued your mind is like a blank sheet and only your experiences create knowledge. Kant said both were wrong (or right). The world around us provides us with things we sense. It is our mind though that uses this information and gives it order in space and time, allowing us to comprehend it. So we need both our minds and our senses to gain knowledge.

Proof God Exists, by Augustine
40% Nature, 58% Rationalism, 75% Religion, 35% Freedom, 38% Individuality, 38% Power and 48% Uncertainty!
You scored highest on the variable Religion. Religion was an important part of Augustine's philosophy.

Saint Augustine, 354 – 430, Algeria.

Augustine was famous for his completely theoretical proofs of God's existence, which don't make very much sense to us now.

Although the Ontological Argument is more famously associated with St. Anselm, not St. Augustine.

So how would you want your brilliant philosophical idea to be?

My idea will tell what people already know, but couldn’t put into words - is the answer I selected.

Rene makes sense from it from the little that I know of him. Though it is who I am rather than what I want my brilliant philosophical idea to be.

I put things in to words.
