| I think it is interesting to see which ones they left out all together in
this quiz. After all that is a small list with a reasonablly focused
spectrum of beliefs. ____________________

Kierkegaard? Isn't he also the author of the famed "That painful burning
itch" and "I just know it's malignant"? or do I have him confused with
someone else.
Oddly I took that test again on a day when I was not feeling rushed, and
after having slept for the first time in about two weeks, Plato was on
first, with Dr. Who, on second, and an Umpa-Lompa on third. ____________________

From what little I just read... Keirkagaard isn't such a bad guy... I like
the idea of an ethical life being more fulfilling than an aesthetic one...
Now I'm just wondering how to pronounce his name... ____________________

We went to school together. I convinced him to rework the manuscripts for
"Fear and Trembling" and "The Sickness Unto Death"... they were originally
a collection of essays which he called "That Recurring Pain I Sometimes Get
in the Back of My Head" and "Gosh, I Just Know It's My Liver",
respectively.

Kierkegaard? KIERKEGAARD?! Søren "Ow! Hey! It hurts me!" Kierkegaard?!!
That little cheesey Danish wouldn't even have been a philosopher except for
the fact that he was too small and sickly to last more than a few hours at
band camp.

Well, I'm a bigger fan of Kierkagaard but Sartre is close-enough. And Ayn
Rand is right at the bottom (although 30% seems a little high).

everyone here! Lets see what I got...

Hopefully, I will elarn who all these people are at St. John's College of
Liberal Arts, with their marvellous philosophical courses of study! And
now, to add to the song discussions so abound in here, I present a quote
from one of my favourite songs of all time! The Philosophe's Drinking
Song!
"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 Freiderich Hegel
And Whittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as scholoshed as
Schlegel!
There's nothing Nieizsche couldn't teach 'ya 'bout the raising of the
wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed."
And so on and so forth! ____________________

why, just thought it might.

I have to admit I don't think very highly of St. "give my chastity but not
just yet" Augustine, I feel more socratic then stoic.
And Devin, I think your song is fine, I wrote one called "Kant is a Kunt"
which I'm sure is at least as bad....

been dismissed from university after delivering a brilliant lecture on the
aggressive influence of German philosophy on rock and roll, entitled, “You,
