Your Score: The Reductionist

You scored 90 Materialism and 0 Phenomenology!

You're the reductionist. All you see when you look at the world is a collection of physical processes playing themselves out. You don't have much use for art and probably consider all religion at best harmless silliness and at worst dangerous irrationality we would all do better to be rid of. You might even consider psychology a soft science, modern folk superstititon that one day we will have no more use for.

You probably have a keen interest in science and a deep loathing for ideology masquerading as science like Intelligent Design.

While your commitment to truth is inspiring, you might want to reconsider your position on poetics. Not everyone can live in the totally material plane you do; maybe some of that stuff you consider a waste of time helps some people live sane lives in an essentially insane universe.

Thinkers you may agree with: Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, E.O. Wilson, Matt Ridley
Thinkers to challenge you: Don Cupitt, Claude Levi-Strauss, Karl Popper, Jacques Derrida

I do enjoy art and music, though. And evolutionary psychology. And the occasional cup of sanity, when I can afford it.

I miss you too! (((((((hugs))))) This semester, I barely feel like my nose is breaking the surface to gulp some air before diving back down again. Are you feeling healthier today?
