Elective Affinities

Which philosopher is most like you?

Seventeen questions on happiness, freedom, God, love or death. At the end, you discover the three philosophers in the salon whose ideas are closest to yours, what you agree with them on, and the one who would contradict you the most. Enough to choose whom to debate with.

This test is a pointer, not a verdict: reducing a way of thinking to a few answers inevitably simplifies it. The philosophers’ positions were established from their writings; where specialists disagree about them, they count less in the calculation.
