The world is absurd. No facts govern it. We live well once we truly accept the world's absurdity. YOU give our life's meaning, and YOU control your world. (see Nietzsche for very closely tied beliefs) --This quiz was made by S. A-Lerer.

You got: Friedrich Nietzsche.

You think that morality is relative and don’t think that people should subscribe to a common set of beliefs. You believe that everyone should be given the opportunity to develop their own set of rules to abide by.

(funny. the questions seemed to be nonsense. I mean come desperate housewives? but I agree with the outcome. somewhat. besides am I not to be out-of-bounds according to Astrology? So.....)

Like Aristotle (384-322 BC), your interests are diverse. You have an opinion on every subject, but it all comes down to one guiding principle: Humans are responsible for helping each other. You believe every person has a purpose, and you're good at helping people find theirs.

PS: regarding "You believe every person has a purpose", can the set be an empty? or negative? just being sarcastic about my own existence.

There is no provable absolute truth. At the bottom of every philosophy there is some inspired assumption which the philosopher defends with reasons they have sought after the fact. There is no rational principle behind our world. The most noble goal in life is to create art. To live well is to be art. If life is a dream, "I will dream on!" --This quiz was made by S. A-Lerer.

So for anyone who sees those with a Positivist perspective as naive or somehow of less intelligence, know that it's a legitimate philosophical perspective that stands with its counterparts.
