Top Law Schools

Which philsopher would score highest on the LSAT? Predict the scores as well if you'd like.

ludwig

Agreed..any other takers?

Tupac should of been added..

Wow, this is one of the "nerdiest" forum posts I have seen in awhile.

Weird list... Frege or Aristotle (assuming the test would be given in their native languages) are my guesses from this list. Presumably people will just vote for their "favorite philosophers", but the anal[ytic] philosophers would probably dominate most easily.

How about Wittgenstein's brother, Paul, the one-armed pianist?

You'd say Frege > Wittgenstein?

All things being equal in terms of language, Wittgenstein would shame these fools.

I believe he scored a 155

I shouldn't have even put Rorty or Nietzsche for that matter, both of which would argue that the merit and results of the exam are relative to the audience.

FTFY

Nietzsche would ridicule the herd mentality of the law school applicant.

FTW, Socrates would as well though.

What the hell is ayn rand doing on that list? Also, the answer is Kant.

I think Kant's abnormally large head would win the day.

ETA: But Cicero would have gotten a 180.

Filling out the middle of this hypothetical bell curve

cicero would ask lsac for a special oral exam

I suspect they'd all have the mental capability to do very well.

Without any prep, I'd say Ludwig.

I bet Heidegger would do pretty well. By writing Being and Time he has also displayed the necessary degree of self-loathing that many law students have...

aquinas (i dont understand a word of "on being and essence," so i assume it's brilliant)

i said that once about a tyga song but oddly enough arrived at a different conclusion.

I would have put money that Tupac would hit 170s easily.
