Deep Thoughts

Stolen from the ultra-cool [personal profile] pale_moonlite. It's a problematic quiz, of course -- filled with spelling and other errors and with overly-schematic categories. But fun, like all these things. (There's no such thing as a "purely objective" language.)

Which philosopher are you?
Your Result: Early Wittgenstein / Positivists
 

The ambiguity of language is the cause for most (if not all) philosophical problems. If we could get a purely objective language all philosophical problems would be solved. Q.E.D.

--This quiz was made by S. A-Lerer.

Aristotle
 
Nietzsche
 
W.v.O. Quine / Late Wittgenstein
 
Plato (strict rationalists)
 
Immanuel Kant
 
Sartre/Camus (late existentialists)
