The One and Only... is probably a spambot
Old Dec 31st, 2003, 09:11 PM        A non-controversial philosophy thread?
Just for kicks... are you a tender-minded philosopher (responses on the left) or tough-minded philosopher (responses on the right)?

Which are you:

Rationalistic or Empiricistic?
Intellectualistic or Sensationalist?
Idealistic or Materialistic?
Optimistic or Pessimistic?
Religious or Irreligious?
Free Will or Fatalistic (Deterministic)?
Monistic or Pluralistic?
Dogmatic or Skeptical?

BTW, monistic vs. pluralistic deals with what makes up reality: one substance (monistic) or more than one substance (pluralistic). A more modern and appropriate way would be how you view objects in reality: do you emphasize their interconnected nature, or their disparateness?

My views, more or less:

Rationalistic (and radically so; I am beginning to deny that anything can be truly known through experience alone - a mind is necessary)
Intellectualistic
Materialistic
Pessimistic
Agnostic
Compatibilistic (often called soft determinism)
Monistic
Skeptical (again, fairly radical; while I do not deny that knowledge is possible, I believe the only thing we can know for certain is that nothing else is certain)
