Now that's cool. I don't mind that ranking one bit. Looks like I've spent too much damn time on the guys below 80%.
Take the test before reading this, it'll influence your answers:
Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC)
The life of virtue is rewarding for the individual and the community.
The essence of a thing does not exist independent of the thing.
There is no completely universal idea of "the good."
There is an individualized ideal form for all living things.
In living in accordance with their true nature, humans will find the most enjoyment out of reasoning.
An investigation of human nature can reveal how humans ought to act.
Humans have a pre-defined purpose.
People can have variations on the best way to exist in order to meet their purpose.
The mean between the extremes of any given characteristic is the ideal.
The rule of the "Golden Mean" is not to be applied mechanically
Aristotle discusses having practical knowledge as being able to have the right means to one's action and the right ends
Ayn Rand (1905-1982)
We should all act with our own interests as the ultimate goal of our actions.
We have free will.
Moral standards are objective, and can be known rationally.
Epicureanism
Epicurus (341-270 BC) - Greek founder of Epicureanism
Pleasure is the ultimate moral end
Dynamic (passionate) pleasures are bad, passive (mild) pleasures are good
The end result of pleasure is what is significant.
