And I would get rigor mortis just on principle if I tried to answer those. Now, if you went with San Francisco starting lineups of the late 60's and early 70's, my existence would have purpose.

I can give you the starting line up of the 1969 Washington Senators...

No thanks. I got 12. Really should read some of these geezers sometime - or at least, Russel's summation

I got 11 just by picking the first choice as the answer. Maybe picking "c" for all the answers would have yielded a higher grade.

"Review Quiz - Results: You answered 10 out of 29 questions correctly, for a score of 34.483%."

I Kant believe my failure at waxing philosophical. Obviously putting Descartes before the horse.

I took a lot of philosophy classes in college. I was pleased to see how much of it I have managed to retain...

I got 18, but I have forgotten a lot of the philosophy that I learned all those years ago, at least with regard to which philosopher said what.

Too many WAGs.

If I had the time and energy, and could be arsed, I'd dig out my old books.

Well done, then. Thanks for making the rest of us feel like **ump supporters.

As Hegel postulated between the “abstract universal concept” and the “concrete universal concept” which is the abstract such as it is realized in the world. Then there are still the “realities” themselves, which don’t really exist according to the theory of absolute idealism.

Ergo, the reader interprets the real value of these test scores and, due to its simplicity, high or low numbers all become a relative concept. In other words, your score on this quiz and $2.25 gets you a 'grande' at Starbucks.

Sometimes many things are self-explanatory if you just allow someone like me to explain them to you. I have spoken.
