Island Dilemmas

Hard calls from the show, one at a time. Answer each one, and find out which real philosopher you decide like. You only get the dilemmas from episodes you have watched.

How the scoring works

Every answer gives points to the thinkers whose ideas it follows most closely. Some answers lean two ways at once, because real choices do.

This is a toy, not a philosophy exam. Each of these thinkers wrote far more than a paragraph can hold, and good readers still argue about what they meant. If you want the argument, the themes pages are a good place to start.
