Title: The methodological emptiness of rationalism and the arrogance of certainty

A great many people are Platonists ... and we are the worse for it.  Christian theology was originally formed out of Platonism

Kant greatly built on top of Platonism.

Rationalism is indeed rational There's no problem with that.

Empricism is important too. And indeed rational.

Kant is famous primarily for uniting empiricism and rationalism together.

Kant's concept of noumenal reality is a great improvement on Plato's world of ideals.

I took a online test recently.  I'm 100% Kant and 75% Hume.  The choices were defined by the test-givers of course.  But I expect it is close to accurate.

I did either the same test or a similar test a few years ago. I'm not sure where it is though.

This one, on the matter of morality, is good:

http://www.philosophyexperiments.com/moralityplay/

But I think my moral values have improved due to becoming more nuanced... and years ago I used to have 100% consistency but now my consistency has lessered (according to the test)... but I think this is just because the test can definitely not incoroporate the nuance I have since developed. As it's a nuance that is highly electic and 99% of the philosophical community don't accept... so it won't really be addressed in the test.

If I go back to my standard utilitarian views I can easily get 100% consistency on this test... but I have since seen objections to utilitarianism. But I am still a consequentialist. So this is something the test has trouble making sense of.

But if you're a Utilitarian, virtue ethicist, deontologist or some combination of those three... then the test is a great one.

Or if you're a moral nihilist or moral relativist it should be fine as well.

Here's my favorite philosophical test of all though:

If you expect that 100% Kant is accurate... then doesn't this mean you think that some behavior is objectively right and wrong regardless of the consequences? Is that so?

No.  The "objectively right and wrong regardless of the consequences? Is that so?" is a typical theist trick.  Nice try.

And as the philosophy students said in the 60s "Neitchze was peachy but Sartre is smarter"  But those were more modern, and I see nothing sensible in either. 

Just my opinion, of course.

I scored 54% parsimonious morality. I guess it's because I look more at a practical applications, as well as in-group/out-group relations, than absolutist moral principles.

"Morality" is religious; "ethics" are human.

I would assume it was a joke, though likely with a tinge of truth to it.

But on existentialism, what exactly is nonsense?

There are things I don't agree with, but at most it's stuff I just don't philosophically agree with rather than making an objective statement that it is wrong.

Well, when it comes to existentialism of the Sartre brand the following is nonsense:  his notion of "existence precedes essence", his notion of "nothingness" that our supposed "freedom" comes out of and  his notion that we are "condemned to be free".

"existence precedes essence" essentially means that humans do not inherently have any meaning or purpose in life, and are thus free to pursue their own meaning and purpose.

"condemned to be free" essentially means that humans always free to make choices in their lives - they can wake up and go to work, stay home, fly to Australia, etc.  And they can neither delegate nor escape these choices.  Your boss can demand you come in all he wants, but it's still up to you as to whether or not you actually show up.

What's wrong with either idea?

Obviously, I express some skepticism on how much humans are truly free to make choices and on whether or not life even has any purpose, but imo neither idea is particularly heinous (quite the opposite, given the competition) nor horribly factually wrong.

Imo, it may be wrong in the sense that the statement that sun rises.  It describes a real phenomenon in a somewhat mistaken way, but I can easily see how someone would get the wrong impression from that vantage point, so it's easy to let it slide.

Sartre said that in the context of being a French resistor to Nazi occupation.  Namely ... he could choose to do something about the occupation, or not ... but that didn't change the fact of the Nazi occupation.  Aka .. you can't flee responsibility for your actions, or even your inactions.  And that responsibility is a tyranny.

LOL! I like the one they have for Plato:

Quote10. Plato

Poetry is deceptive, god-awful artifice that is totally perverted and completely skews our sense of reality â€" and while we’re at it, democracy is total bullshit and should be overthrown by philosopher kings who will lord over cities with their big, pulsating brains full of knowledge and righteousness forever.

Correct.  A strong central government like Egypt, Babylon etc and no Greek culture.  Their geography perhaps more than their ethnicity, is to blame, that they didn't have the benefit of totalitarianism (except for Sparta).

Almost correct.  Ethnicity had nothing to do with it.  It was isolated geography, mostly.  And the Spartans developed their slavery anti-hedonism on their own.  Don't read a lot of history, do you?
