I have most in common with John Stuart Mill, who tought liberty was the most important pleasure.

I don't agree with some of his utilitarian beliefs though...

Determinist

Something must have a desirable affect on man in order to be good

Must understand determinism of the world

Thats not me :p I don't think something must be desirable to be good. I desire things that aren't good. . .

I'm most like Aristotle, Apparently.

...i have no idea what that means

Hmm:

#

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.

#

Augustine (354-430)

# Happiness is a union of the soul with God after one has died

# Bodily pleasures are relatively inferior to spiritual pleasures.

# Philosophical reasoning is not the path to wisdom and happiness.

# A love of God and faith in Jesus is the only path to happiness.

# God is the one to allow people to practice the love of God.

# One must love God in order to fulfill moral law.

# People are inherently evil; only the grace of God (or is it merit to be saved?) can save them.

I dont believe all this bull****

Stoicism

# The common capacity to reason allows all humans to achieve virtue and wisdom.

# The external circumstances of a person's life are irrelevant.

# One can achieve virtue by becoming indifferent to external differences.

# Passions must be rejected all together in deciding what is good and what is bad.

# Reason alone must be used in deciding what is good and what is bad.

# The common ability of humans to reason is why ethical relativism should be rejected.

First, this isn't a general philosophy test, it's an ethical philosophy test. Second, most of the questions assume that the moral imperative is to be virtuous. Anyways:

All the fruits of civilization are worthless

Salvation is found in a rejection of society and a return to simple ascetic living

Virtue consists in finding salvation in oneself
