A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
- 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 graduated from Pitzer college with a bachelors degree in Philosophy and having satisfied all pre-med requirements, including taking the MCAT. During college, I was a snowboarding instructor at Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts, a resort just north of my school. I am originally from just outside DC in Montgomery County, Maryland. When I'm in town (and i'm often not), I am a volunteer Firefighter and EMT at one of the US's busiest heavy-rescue squads.
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
[edit ]- OLGA - Online guitar tab resource
- Screensaver Lifesaver - a distributed computing project that is trying to cure cancer
- Rescue Squad - like a fire department, but staffing technical rescue units (and/or ambulances) instead of fire suppression.
- Cris Kirkwood
- Amos Ori
- The United States Fire Administration
- Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts - the closest ski-resort to LA, where I happen to work. The first article I started (I think).
- Barry Sanders at wikiquote.
- Coco (music) - local music from northern brazil. most of this article is a partial translation from the portuguese wikipedia.
- Anti-Procreation Movement
