Personal Religion, by Kierkegaard
28% Nature, 54% Rationalism, 20% Religion, 65% Freedom, 86% Individuality, 63% Power and 36% 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.

"Proof God Exists" by Sarfati et al.... Augustine annoys me.

Cogito Ergo Sum by Descartes
Not surprising that my highest part was rationalism.

Synthetic Perception, by Kant
40% Nature, 46% Rationalism, 45% Religion, 39% Freedom, 43% Individuality, 42% Power and 64% Uncertainty!
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.

I was going to ask if you made that quiz, because of the poll.

Cogito Ergo Sum, by Descartes
20% Nature, 71% Rationalism, 55% Religion, 52% Freedom, 57% Individuality, 54% Power and 24% Uncertainty!
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. |

I see. I see a fair amount of effort to make a poll of the possible results in this case, interesting, a fun quiz-poll.
