which philosopher has the most accurate set of beliefs?

Answer 1

Who said philosophy had anything to do with accuracy? Physics is what you are referring to. Philosophy can be argued til the end of time. Some label a lot of it rhetoric.

Answer 2

Philosophers pride themselves in applying logic and reason to resolve questions. Actually though, philosophers, western philosophers, have never resolved any question, they only ask themselves many questions, the "greatest"philosophers being those who have asked the most, and the "very greatest" those who have asked the most as well as the profoundest questions. To have "beliefs" at all, accurate or not, is to be other than a philosopher. You would perhaps be a theologian; he starts with a fundamental belief taken from some scripture and then uses the logic that suits him to prove that belief.

In the East, the word philosopher deserves much more respect.There,a philosopher is also a sage, not just a scholar,an intellectual.

So the question,as put, is impossible for me to answer.I wonder how others will answer this question.

Answer 3

It would seem that your question has the answere in it. After all, beliefs are just beliefs. If you believe it, it's an accurate belief. So if you want to get more technical and assume that what has been catalogued by science as information, and we hold this info to be what is known about ____, then whomever has the most up-to-date information. Google is goodbecause it gives you lots of alternatives. So does this site. Probably some of our answer/guesses are right up there with what might be the next known info.

Answer 4

"Accuracy lives in the eye of the beholder" Hey, now I'm a philosopher! Really though, if I was to hazard a guess I'd say that Nietzsche's quote "What does not kill me makes me stronger" is perhaps the most accurate and profound statement ever uttered. It cuts to the very heart of life and the living of it, leaving all rhetoric aside, it's focus a distillation of acceptance that life is sometimes fickle and beyond human control and one is better to use the lessons learned as a measure of guidance in the future.

Personally, I find many of his statements to be quite profound, common sense distilled if you will. I choose to disregard the fact that his philosophies were embraced by the likes of Hitler as it has no bearing what so ever on the actual truth in these words of wisdom. Just my personal take on things as a seeker of truth and wisdom, take from it what you will.
