Primary socials as of April 2024:

  • Optimism should have a separate page that focuses on the philosophical idea of optimism and distinguishes the philosophical view from "positive thinking" and other everyday uses of the word.
  • Philosophy of social science, has some okay points but requires elaboration on Wittgenstein and Winch, perhaps other linguistic critiques, whether logical positivist or postmodernist.
  • Exchange value needs to be redone, it shouldn't be under 'Marxist theory'- although it's an important component of Marxist theory it's also vital for all economics. That said the article's weight on Marx is also absurd.
  • German Idealism and the articles related to it may need to be rewritten or expanded to avoid undue weight on Arthur Schopenhauer.
  • Protected values first section confuses right action and values and needs a copy edit, moving and wikifying
  • Quality (philosophy) needs a more clear explanation.
  • Socratic dialogues could do with some tidying and clarification. See the talk page for one suggested change.
  • Problem of universals: The introductory definition is (perhaps) fixed. But, the article is poor. Check out the German version.
  • Teleology: the article is shallow and inconsistent.
  • Existentialism: the quality of this article varies wildly and is in desperate need of expert attention.
  • Analytic philosophy This is a very major topic, but still has several sections which are stubs, and several topics which are not covered.
  • Lifeworld A philosophical concept that seems to have fallen exclusively into the hands of the sociologists. Could use some attention; it's a major and complex issue in phenomenology.
  • Perception Needs the attention of philosophically minded Wikipedians. This is only the start of an overhaul of perception and related articles.

About Me

edit

I have a very strong sense of obligation and responsibility, but I can be pretty damn lazy.

Contributions

edit

So, I don't do a very good job of acting as my own historian. Instead of writing this as I write articles, most of these selections have been taken out of my contributions history, so it has been a slow process developing this list. Bear with me.

The biggest problem is that, frankly, i don't really care. but if i don't keep this list, i'll have no way of keeping up with the articles cause my watchlist is...messy.

Articles I started

Significant contributions

edit

These are articles that I either made significant edits too, have made many contributions too over time or have otherwise seen a significant amount of my attention (excluding articles I started). Hardly a complete list.
