Pathways school of philosophy

Test your philosophical ability

The Pathways Philosophy Test does not require any prior knowledge of philosophy. Give the best answers that you can to the following six questions. If you are not sure exactly what the question is, then take your best guess and respond to that. An explanation of the reasons for your answer would be helpful.

Each answer should be at least 50 words and no more than 250 words. Don't forget to give your name and an email address where we can contact you.

This service is offered courtesy of the Pathways School of Philosophy, the independent distance learning project run by the International Society for Philosophers. Pathways is the leading internet distance learning site for philosophy courses online. For more information about our distance learning programs, email info@philosophypathways.com.

— Good luck!
