Seeing Kant show up on top was no surprise. I wasn't expecting Ayn Rand to appear in second place, though; while it's true that I share some of her skepticism of government and society, I disagree with some of the other things she supported. It would be interesting to see what the rest of you might come up with on the quiz.
1. Immanuel Kant (100%)
2. Ayn Rand (85%)
3. Prescriptivism (77%)
4. John Stuart Mill (73%)
5. St. Augustine (64%)
6. Plato (59%)
7. Jeremy Bentham (57%)
8. Thomas Aquinas (52%)
9. Jean-Paul Sartre (47%)
10. William of Ockham (44%)
11. Nel Noddings (42%)
12. Epicureans (38%)
13. Cynics (35%)
14. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (30%)
15. Baruch (later known as Benedictus) Spinoza (30%)
16. David Hume (26%)
17. Aristotle (22%)
18. Stoics (22%)
19. Thomas Hobbes (12%)
