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)

Complainy complaintthoughts of complainery regarding this quiz.

It says a lot about where my brain has been lately that I took this very seriously and got genuinely stressed out and angry while filling out the questionnaire.

That said, I'm Sartre/Camus. (I'm actually the monstrous lovechild of Philo, Hegel, and Kristeva, but never mind that.)

And of COURSE you're Wittgenstein. (Whom, for the record, I admire, in spite of his philosophy-boy acolytes.)

There's just something about orneriness, brilliance, and language philosophy all in one place that screams 'Kelly' to me. It is definitely a compliment.
