"Whoever killed a man killed all of mankind" is from a Hadith, not from the Qur'an. i.e.: canonically from Muhammad's mouth not Allah's

Great game guys, couldn't get past the first argument when it was first released and now i finished it in less than an hour.

According to Hobbes, the source of obligation to a contract lays in the sovereign's power to deal fear. The sovereign's power to apply such pressure comes from a contract between him and the people. The rhetorical question: but what obligates the sovereign to keep his end of the contract?
Why didn't Hobbes reply simply with, "Revolt"?

I've enjoyed this game and still a bit dazed by ending. After all investigations nothing changed. And this is a precisely kantian position to analyze everything and still construct the very same. No surprise Nitsche didn't come.
Btw Socrates indeed was ugly. Besides textual evidences, in antiquety he was depicted as a satyr. So it is possible to bring 'ugly face' into play.

Developer, by the design of Ali, i think your favourite philosopher is indeed not the last one, but John Mill, isn't it ???

Awesome game, I love the whole thing, especially the ending about how there is no true answer. That was cool. Favorited!

That was a long game for me..... that I had to comment. Thank you for this game that picks at the minds of us players. Trying to find the contradicting statements in the games ^^
A little like playing a lawyer >>

the game is great, as it makes people think, and in a way that we can actually profit from IRL. however, the key to the discussion being something as abstract and subjective as 'nature of morality', i disagreed a few times with "me disagreeing with some of the philosophers", other times those retorts were a bit forced. but, all in all, given an awkward topic as such, plot was planned out really nice.

This game was AMAZING! It made me think and had a great challenge to it. I would recommend this to people who love a challenge.

This was surprisingly good, like the Phoenix Wright series but i can't help but wonder if things could've been easier if he just went to the afterlife full of numbers and completed a challenge there.I mean, it would be easier for him, being an accountant.

Easiest 5-star rating I've given since I Saw Her Standing There. References to like EVERY MAJOR PHILOSOPHER EVER (plus Turing), Phoenix Wright-style gameplay, and a dude with a skull mask. This game is AWESOME.

I just can't believe i would enjoy a philosophy game that much, it really reminded me of phoenix wright with all these nonsence things :d I just couldnt stand philosophy in class, i guess i learned some things here :D. I though we would defy socrate's winning theory at the end, but I guess it would mean that the game's maker would have had to find out a theory better than all the others XD sounds pretty hard to do. Anyway this game is just really well-made, and you can spend quite alot of time on it. I hope there'll be some kind of sequel to this (or is there one already ?).
6/5

Here I am, watching my limited understanding of morality, life, humans, and happiness being torn apart by a semi-dead, confused, and unkempt accountant... (-.-;)

Really amazing game!
Everything's well put, the insights on moral philosophy are great, even the analysis over the philosophies are well-done. Great game, one of my favorites!

I like the overall idea of the game, but the long and laborious method to getting answers that you already know is both annoying and irritating.

if u ask for backing the third argument of euthyphro he mentions that the gods created the world in seven days, but until what I know, that isn't from his time's believes, its from the bible, which says there exists only one god, and for his time is believes, there were at least 10.

I don't understand, in the first chapter its said that "things are good because gods like them" what say that gods don't like mankind, because mankind is not good, if the gods liked it, it would be good.

Hey! Great game. Is there a way to get it translated to other languages than the 3 already in the game? I think many people could learn from it.

Socrates: "What if the dying man was the joker?" Ari: "But...Batman would NEVER let the Joker die. Even he would think you should help in that case." Arbiter: "Indeed. Batman would be ashamed of you for suggesting otherwise." 5/5, beautifully scripted.

FYI if you want some help but you don't want to use a guide, look up the philosophical codes mentioned, objections to them, and/or the philosophers themselves. Such sources are actually quite helpful.
