Simply try and answer the questions and look up the answers afterwards. Then record here how many you got right. Or, alternatively, pm me for the answers.
Note: obviously, I will not be doing the test myself.

  1. Who founded the so-called Neoplatonic school of philosophy?

  2. Who famously thrust a fire-poker in the direction of Karl Popper?

  3. Which philosopher famously observed that the Battle of Marathon was more important in British history than even the Battle of Hastings?

  4. Who claimed that the whole of western philosophy is a series of footnotes to Plato?

  5. Which philosopher stood up to former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson when he found Tyson vitiating Naomi Campbell’s personal space?

Good luck, folks. Any supposed philosophy junkies, here is your chance to shine…DO NOT POST ANSWERS HERE!
