I wonder if punching somebody who is smarter than you an acceptable way to win a philosophical debate? Either way it is a great game and I think it has replay value which quite a few "good" games lack

10/5 for the game. I like the games that makes me think about our life and think about world and Methods of communications with other peoples. That's Probably the best philosopher game ever made.

I like how the temptation to insult the other philosophers' face is always there. I'm looking for contradictions and such, and then I see "Your Face is Ugly." 5/5 just for that

I really like this game but it is tiring waiting for the text to trickle in character by character. I know I can click to skip the text animation but that is cumbersome because I have to click for EVERY sentence. It is also unreliable because when the sentence is short and the animation stops before I click then I click away the sentence before reading it. Please add an option to disable text animation and just have the entire sentence appear at once.

If I ask Kant to clarify what he means by "Categorical Imperatives", he says "They are categorical, meaning they fall into different classes. They are also imperative, meaning they must always be followed." That's not right, especially the first bit; you've got the wrong definition of "categorical". (See http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/kant-moral/#CatHypImp .) Consider something like "They are categorical, meaning they apply to everyone, without exception. They are also imperative, meaning they tell us how to behave."

when you got to start out fixing a shady salesman's scam pitch for him, well, you gotta wonder what "philosophy" players are going to be railroaded down.

Woah, wait what? The argument with Pathagoras.
"And clearly morality doesn't come from nature."
"can you back that up?"
"THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS ON YOU< LAWLERSCAKTES!"
No, Pathagoras, you claimed morality does not come from nature. Please back up that assumption.
And the arbiter actually agreed he can sneak in that assumption? The burden of proof is on Pathagoras.
WTF happened there?

I'm only at Euthyphro, but I'm very frustrated because I know what I want to say, but the argument that comes closest does not hit the exact points I want to make. It reminded me of the times I got frustrated with the Ace Attorney series. I wanted to make the point that the knife did not match the knife wound or that my defendant was far too diminutive to use such a powerful gun without getting injured, but Phoenix/Apollo never read my mind, so they couldn't make that point for me until much frustratingly later if ever at all!
We've been trying to write custom responses for most of these situations. Can you PM me with what move you are trying to make, on what node, and what argument you think it would make? No promises, but I'd like to at least know =)

Brilliant game, I love games that make me think. I just can't get past the last argument, though ("No point in trying"). Any clues?

i had no ability of colliding the positive and negative imperatives by saving the sick through lies as exampled in mark twain's heaven or hell :(

if given time hobbes might have claimed that while the sovereign has higher power of the individual, with enough resentment from many individuals he may be overpowered and overthrown and punished which makes the contract give him power, and fear together of the ones who empower him.

I was expecting an epilogue, a home debate (not interactive, just a few clicks) between Ari and her dad, with the last line of Ari shouting "I HATE YOU DAD!" in the last picture showing the city from above. :D
But still, this game was extremely entertaining without any of that, no question about the 5 stars. I still hate Kant, maybe that's why he managed to kill me once.

I felt like I was struggling against Jones more than I was against the first two or three debaters, but frankly, the last boss in this game is my favorite philosopher, and that's a categorical 5/5. [Try losing to the salesman after the end.] Any chance of a sequel [perhaps with more dialogue paths]?

"deer live in the woods! not the farms! thats whats wrong with your argument!" "DAAAAAD thats a incorrect blah blah blah on these premises!!" "and how is that exactly?" "ummm uhhh umm"

A very well thought out game. It does bash every idea of morality (as was intended), and makes you want to study more philosophy...
