The Morals Quiz was fun a few weeks back, and again, this doesen't say you're a good or bad person, just how you answer the test tends to illustrate more what you think the personality you are.

THis one is on your philosophical views.

Have fun

What philosophy do you follow? (v1.03)

Hmm it says I am ruled by "Divine Command". I thought of myself more as a utilitarian but I dunno. I have taken quite a few University philosophy classes and I have never given much weight to it.

You scored as a Nihilism
Your life is marked by strong Nihilism: You feel that nothing in the world, even your life, has much or any meaning.

"There are no facts, only interpretations."
“Every belief, every considering something-true, is necessarily false because there is simply no true world”
--Friedrich Nietzsche

Mine was something called Divinist or something. I put alot of faith in a divine power. It's not like I'm a bible thumper, far from it. It's just I tend to draw strength and meaning from a "Divine" power and base most of my judgments on that.

Fascinating to see how some of you turned out. Esp Aika. I can see that about you even from your moderatorship duties.

As for actual philosophy, I am a huge fan of Erich Fromm. Here are a few passages that I feel relate my personal views fairly well.

Care and responsibility are constituent elements of love, but without respect for and knowledge of the beloved person, love deteriorates into domination and possessiveness. Respect is not fear and awe; it denotes, in accordance with the root of the word (respicere = to look at), the ability to see a person as he is, to be aware of his individuality and uniqueness. To respect a person is not possible without knowing him; care and responsibilty would be blind if they were not guided by the knowledge of the person's individuality.

Respect is not fear and awe; it denotes, in accordance with the root of the word (respicere = to look at), the ability to see a person as he is, to be aware of his unique individuality. Respect, thus, implies the absence of exploitation. I want the loved person to grow and unfold for his own sake, and in his own ways, and not for the purpose of serving me.

Selfish persons are incapable of loving others, but they are not capable of loving themselves either.

What most people in our culture mean by being lovable is essentially a mixture between being popular and having sex appeal.

Envy, jealousy, ambition, any kind of greed are passions; love is an action, the practice of human power, which can be practiced only in freedom and never as a result of compulsion.

I believe that the unity of man as opposed to other living things derives from the fact that man is the conscious life of himself. Man is conscious of himself, of his future, which is death, of his smallness, of his impotence; he is aware of others as others; man is in nature, subject to its laws even if he transcends it with his thought.

The revolutionary and critical thinker is in a certain way always outside of his society while of course he is at the same time also in it. That he is in it is obvious, but why is he outside it? First, because he is not brainwashed by the ruling ideology, that is to say, he has an extraordinary kind of independence of thought and feeling; hence he can have a greater objectivity than the average person has. There are many emotional factors too. And certainly I do not mean to enter here into the complex problem of the revolutionary thinker. But it seems to me essential that in a certain sense he transcends his society. You may say he transcends it because of the new historical developments and possibilities he is aware of, while the majority still think in traditional terms.
