As a young man I would take The History of Western Philosophy to work with me, and I would read it at lunch time with two meat pies, a coke, and a neenish tart. I loved the language and I loved the ideas, although I was criticised socially for using big words.

And having marinated in Western philosophy I stepped outside with Marshall McLuhan, Dennis Wier, and Julian Jaynes. So today I riff on Western Philosophy from an eccentric position, slightly out of tune, slightly out of step, as I slip sideways, walking beside Western Philosophy in the Elysian Fields, click on Elysian Fields - Wikipedia.

Retook, reread one question and realized I missed an option, and actually used the priority scale. This is what I got, and from my basic knowledge of philosophy, this seems more accurate.

I've always gotten Bentham on these types of tests pretty much... read up on him and decided that he sounds like a very sensible man who I agree on, so I suppose there's that!

and despite the fact that Rousseau is on the bottom of my list, I still think he's adorable

I'd never heard of Nel Noddings before, but after doing a quick search on her views they do seem to align with mine.

“Any mode of thought that lays out complete and final answers to great existential questions is liable to dogmatism. A great attraction of care ethics, I think, is its refusal to encode or construct a catalog of principles and rules. One who cares must meet the cared-for just as he or she is, as a whole human being with individual needs and interests. [...] At most, it directs us to attend, to listen, and to respond as positively as possible. [...] it recognizes that virtually all human beings desire not to be hurt, and this gives us something close to an absolute: We should not inflict deliberate hurt or pain. Even when we must fight to save our children, we must not inflict unnecessary or deliberate pain.”

Karl Marx.

Karl Marx wrote it would be necessary to liquidate whole peoples, and that is just what Marxists did over 70 years: they liquidated 100 million of their own people across the world over 70 years. This is documented in the book The Black Book of Communism by a group of Left wing French historians, click on http://www.conflicts.rem33.com/images/books/THE BLACK BOOK OF COMMUNISM.pdf

I'll maybe take this a year later to see if it changes.

Did Mole get banned?

That's a shame, I know he was just about to cite chapter and verse as to where exactly Marx had wrote "it would be necessary to liquidate whole peoples" because in all my years of reading EVERYTHING Marx wrote I never read any such thing and was prepared to call him out once again for posting some unbelievable shite he'd read in a tabloid somewhere.

Ayn Rand's ideas have merit, but it's probably best not to read Atlas shrugged until you have been "immunized" by reading a few other philosophers. After all, it is 1200 pages of what Ayn Rand herself described as "Anti-communist propaganda."

Also, Epicureanism and especially Hobbes suit ISTJ very well haha.

1200 pages??? no thanks. Wasn't planning on reading it anyway, I just recognized the title.

Oh those philosophers do? lol I've heard of Hobbes, but not the other guy. The bullet points seem right, though I don't understand the pleasure being morall good. I do think that most people do things because of pleasure/ self interest.
