    Hmm... If I was making my own list from these names, Mill and Bentham would have been near the top, but Hume would have been higher. The Epicureans would have been higher, too. Don't know much about Rand. Not a huge fan of Aquinas. And some of the others could probably do with a shuffle, too.

    (PS OMG, I share a philosophical outlook with draqon. Help!

    Weird, Ayn Rand (don't know him) and Sartre are consistently in the top somewhere. However, I do not really believe in free will (as such) and I can't stand Sartre.

    Ayn Rand is a woman.

    Frankly the only one I agree with of course is...Nietzsche:

    We have free will
    There is no God
    Social conformity should not hold us back
    The interests of others should not restrain us
    We should be passionate beings
    Masculinity, strength and passion are the highest qualities in a person
    Conventional morality is a crutch to man

    Hmmm I guess I am about 85% Hobbes:

    By human nature, all of man's voluntary actions are aimed at self-pleasure and self-preservation
    Altruism may be pleasurable for the giver
    Good = 'any object of desire'
    We must live under a social contract to have peace
    We need a sovereign to enforce the social contract (bullshit)

    One is not passionate in a void - one is passionate in the presence of other humans. To live by a statement as simple as pure selfishness would be to deny certain virtues of being human, and to do that is to deny passion in a traditional form.

    For what it's worth:

    I don't get the inclusion of Sartre. There's not much of an existential vibe to those questions.
