Poll question: Are you an absolutist, a perspectivist, or a relativist

1. I'll give you a hint on perspectivism

Neitzsche was a perspectivist.

2. Absolutism is Relative

It depends on your perspective.

3. Taking a wild guess here

Perspectivist... because I believe that perspective is everything... no two people have the exact same perspective. Your point of view is like your fingerprint.

12. Moral Absolutist (Utillitarianism)

Increasing happiness and decreasing suffering of the most amount of people = Good.

The most well known Utillitarian, the 19th century british philospher and reformer J. S. Mill, was a vocal proponent of social justice for the poor and opressed. He and his allies were on of the reasons of the ideologocal split among 19th century liberals that eventually resulted in the crystalizing of the ideologies of Social Democrats/American Liberals on one hand and Libertarians on the other.
