Yay, Kant

The Ethical Philosophy Selector says my system of ethics is 100% in agreement with Immanuel Kant.

Nice to know somebody agrees with me, I guess.

That's a very cool and interesting quiz you found! Definetely better somehow that 'who is your rockstar boyfriend...?'
Anywho, apparently i agree 100% with Sartre, which is...mmm...let me think about it...

actually we hardly disagree about anything; we just obsess over the rare occasions when we do.

(ha ha . . . i just had to disagree with your response.)

Aquinas (1225 or '27-1274)
All life has a purpose
Meeting this purpose allows one to be happy.
Happiness is to be found in the love of God.
God's grace providing entrance into heaven creates the highest form of human happiness.
Short of heaven, a person can achieve a more limited form of happiness through a life of virtue and friendship.
Morality is not determined by the arbitrary will of God.
Morality is derived from human nature and the activities that are objectively suited to it.
The difference between right and wrong can be appreciated through the use of reason and reflection.
Religious reflection may supplement the use of reason and reflection to determine right from wrong.
Societies must enact laws to ensure the correct application of moral reasoning.
Human nature is good because God made it good.

Kant can sometimes make my eyes bleed out of frustration. :)

I haven't tried to read any Kant since high school so I don't remember quite how bad he is. But my experience has been that hardly any philosophers exactly make fun & exciting reading.

:) Nietzsche has a very eloquent way of writing that let's the reader understand very complex theories without loosing them in the philosophical rhetoric.

He was hopless when it came to women and didn't understand them one lick! This seems common amoung many "Dead White Guys" that I study though :)

Yes, Nietzsche writes very well. Kierkegaard is the most literary and writes beautifully. But he is too religious and angst-ridden. Kant is rough going, and Hegel is the worst. Painful.
