19. Thomas Hobbes   (37%)

Ignoring the fact St. Augustine was a fanatical Christian he is kind of right i think.

Quote:
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.

Sartre is pretty popular around here.
Quote:
# When we choose something, we affirm the value of our choice because we have chosen it above other choices
# When we choose something for ourselves, we should choose it for all people.
# We must be consistent in our interpretations of moral situations regardless of whom the agent is.
# Logic cannot help us specific situations
# Making conscious moral choices is more significant than consistently following moral guidelines
# The conflict between the interests of two people is in the end, irresolvable


Kant:
Quote:
# We can make a prior judgments; the negation of such judgments would a logical absurdity because a priori knowledge is known without sensory data.
# We combine a priori and a posteriori knowledge to
# We have freedom
# God is not essential for his moral argumentation
# The objective facts about the human knowledge leads to Kant's morality
# We must act ought of a sense of duty in order to be moral
# Moral action does not come out of following inclinations
# Moral standards must be followed without qualification
# We must always act so that the means of our actions could be a universal law
# We must always treat people as ends not means

that's not 100% now is it

How does that work? On one hand, you have the biggest proponent of utilitarianism, and on the other hand you have the greatest proponent of deontology.
