A Little Heavy for the Weekend, I Know

If you woke up this morning thinking "the unexamined life is not worth living," stop by here and take the ETHICAL PHILOSOPHY SELECTOR quiz.

Here are my results:

The highest score, 100, represents the closest philosophical match to your responses. This is not to say that you and the philosopher are in total agreement. However this is a philosophy that you may want to study further.

1.  Jeremy Bentham   (100%) 
2.  Jean-Paul Sartre   (97%) 
3.  John Stuart Mill   (92%)  
4.  Kant   (83%)  
5.  Aristotle   (82%)  
6.  Aquinas   (80%)  
7.  Epicureans   (79%)  
8.  Ayn Rand   (77%)  
9.  Spinoza   (60%)  
10.  David Hume   (55%)  
11.  Prescriptivism   (51%)  
12.  Stoics   (51%)  
13.  Plato   (49%)  
14.  Nietzsche   (44%)  
15.  Nel Noddings   (36%) 
16.  St. Augustine   (36%)  
17.  Ockham   (34%)  
18.  Thomas Hobbes   (33%)

Oh ho! A Benthamite are you!

Whilst I came out 100% Kant , 98% Sartre
the only thing going round my head was this.
Courtesy of Monty Python.

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel,

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.

Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whiskey every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,

And René Descartes was a drunken fart.
'I drink, therefore I am.'

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed

Jeebus, I am so pathetic. I haven't even finished this quiz yet.

...On the other hand, I *do* know the Philosophers Drinking Song by heart! (see Pete's post, above).

After all, one needs to have priorities.

Well Bruce, the sheila thought I had fair near
cracked last year when we visited Gods Own Country
(Queensland)
When I found out the route we had to drive was
along the 'The Bruce Highway' (Brissie to Cairns)
and calling out "No Poofters!" everytime we passed
a highway sign and giggling quietly to myself.
Also remarking that it was "hot enough to boil a monkeys bum"
