blondedSo are you saying that you believe morals to be some abstract universal "pie of ideas" that individuals are taking slices from when they form their own morals? I'm not sure I follow if not

Interesting viewpoint, I take it you believe other aspects of humanity are also connected or there's some type of collective experience?

We are all energy.
Our perspective of it is limited by the physical bounds of our bodies.

This test is kinda trash. It basically only deals with ethics which is but one part of philosophy. It also has an extremely individualistic/liberal bias.
As a Marxist I could answer “dislike all choices” to pretty much all these questions

RIZGODImo, at some point your humanity should kick in. Like you're doing all this cruel s***. Whipping people, hanging them from trees, shooting them as they run away. I feel like my empathy wouldn't allow me to do this to people, no matter what society or the law says. But internally justifying it to themselves is something I hadn't thought of, maybe there were a lot of people struggling with the notion of slavery
I feel a lot of the third paragraph. The crazy thing is Apartheid only ended like 30 years ago. So people who openly thought I'm worthless because of the colour of my skin are still walking around me. They just treating me and everyone who looks like me differently now because the laws changed. And that's not enough time to change thought patterns in a meaningful way, kids are probably lowkey being raised to keep those beliefs going
I think the “humanity” ur referring to is empathy like we knows these people are humans and deserved to be treated as humans, but the slave owners they might have empathy towards their dog kids and wives but not to their slaves cause their whole life they been conditioned to see slaves as objects rather than a fellow human. Unless ur referring to some humanity that’s innate to use since birth which i don’t think exists as in the case with the slave owners humanity never ever kicking in.
I do see why people have trouble with this it sounds like i’m trying to excuse the slave owner while i’m not they deserved to be shot f*** em, it’s just more seeing why they don’t see the same way as us.
Also s*** b Aparthied still exist in Israel, the “humanist” values we share don’t even extend all over the world today right now, and yeah i know how that feels 40 years ago my people been target by progroms in our native country, s*** my mom and dad lived through that s*** it ain’t even far removed from us.

Yeah, the end of the first paragraph is exactly what I'm saying
Like even though they've been conditioned to think a certain way their whole lives and it's socially acceptable to treat other people that badly, that little voice of empathy in their heads should have kicked in. But I also agree with the second paragraph, it's not necessarily said to excuse their actions - Jan 9, 2022

ASAKII barely touched it either, I think it increases the % number of those philosophers you're already inclined with.
For example, this is what I got:
I am definitely not 100% inclined with Kant, but it's probably because I didn't touch the slider on his questions.
similar to mine. i'm surprised my stoics wasn't higher tho

Jan 10, 2022Aquinas (1225 or '27-1274) See notes on other philosophers and philosophies
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.- Jan 10, 2022
