“The unexamined life is not worth living for a human being.”
Your beliefs form a web.
Find out where it tears.
18 questions about God, morality, free will, mind, and meaning. The check shows where your answers flatly clash, where one quietly commits you to another, and where they hold together — with a published source behind every call.
Not an either / or quiz: most questions let you hold several positions at once, or none. Mixed, in-between views are exactly what it's built for.
how it works
i.
Answer one question at a time. Pick the positions you actually hold — or skip.
ii.
The engine cross-checks everything you affirmed against a reviewed set of relationships.
iii.
Read the result — each finding names the exact beliefs at issue and cites its source.
what this is
A small, inspectable rule engine. Every “contradiction” it reports names the specific pair of statements you affirmed and the source behind the call — a mirror you can argue with, not a score or a label.
↳ what it isn't, and where the name comes from↑ hide
Only statements you affirm become premises (the starting points the check reasons from). Rejections, uncertainty, and qualifications are not treated as hidden opposite beliefs. Consistency is a floor, not proof: the point is to see your commitments clearly and hold them on purpose.
The name borrows W. V. Quine and J. S. Ullian's metaphor (The Web of Belief, 1970): no belief stands alone. The engine itself is not Quinean holism — just a small set of explicit rules, each one a recognised move in the contemporary literature.
why these
Drawn from the questions philosophers and the public most disagree about.
Topic selection uses the PhilPapers 2020 survey of philosophers and Pew Research's 2023–24 Religious Landscape Study. Each question's explanation links to relevant Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entries and, where needed, focused contemporary research; nothing here treats one school as obvious.
