Here are all the results with descriptions

Logical Positivism
Logical positivism is all about what you can prove. It came about in the 1920s and the main tenet was that the only questions worth contemplating were ones that could be proven through empirical evidence and verification.

Nihilism
Nihilism is the rejection of believing in anything. It means there is no meaning. Nothing is real and nothing exists, according to true Nihilists. It's no use believing in anything - especially religion, society, government, and even philosophy.

Existentialism
Existentialism is the thought that there is no inherent meaning or purpose in the world except that which we create for ourselves. We have free will and should use our freedom to create our own morals and values independent of authority figures while also not imposing our values and morals on others as rules.

Stoicism
Stoicism is about acceptance. Stoics believed that each individual should try to achieve the four tenets of virtue: wisdom, justice, courage, and moderation. A stoic could, barring unforeseen circumstances, make the decision to strive to master those four things. Beyond that, stoics accepted that unexpected hardships would happen and they either would or would not emerge victorious from them, but ultimately, what happens happens and for your own sanity, you shouldn't get emotional about it.

Hedonism
Hedonism is the philosophy that meaning can be found in happiness. But, the original hedonists weren't exactly talking about rolling in chocolate and having wild parties. They were looking for things that elevated a person to true happiness. While we think of hedonism as indulgence, one of its greatest philosophers, Epicurus, thought that moderation was the key to happiness.

Rationalism
Rationalism says that you cannot rely on your five senses but must rely on your own power of reasoning to find answers. For example, you know that slavery is wrong. Your five senses didn't tell you that, you had that understanding of the truth without help from your five senses. Rationalist thought is also in play when you figure out how an optical illusion works. You didn't accept what your sense of sight told you, you found the truth intellectually.
