[edit] Wikipedia Philosophy Project
I am reviewing the open tasks in this project to find areas in which I could make a contribution. My main interests are ethics, existentialism, social and political philosophy so these are the topics that I will look at first to see what is there and what needs work.
- Charles Peirce: This article needs a lot of help. The POV is way too idiosyncratic and the style is offputting for a general audience, to say the least. You will have to be willing to go to the mat, however, with the primary author, who has been banned but has reappeared under different names.
- Desert: At least narrow it down to being in philosophy, ethics, or morality. An actual article at any of these three would be nice, too.
- Cesare Cremonini: created "start-level", would need new eyes and hands.
- Fatalism: Stub-like. Needs to be cleaned up and expanded
- Aristotelianism: Needs to be expanded
- Logical argument: Needs work to be of use
- Sign / Symbol: Introductions contain too much technical jargon
- Catholic Probabilism: Pretty nearly straight from the old Catholic Encyclopedia
- Counterfactuals: Needs fuller and more accurate summary of main theories, as well as indication of philosophical importance in other topics, notably causation and inference.
- Human agency: Expand, correct, and reference. Any support for altering the name?
- Being and Nothingness: An Essay on Phenomenological Ontology Sartre's magnum opus, barely more than a stub
- Übermensch: desperately needs knowledgable attention
- Kant's Groundwork: re-write, expand
- Existentialism: in dire need of a cleanup and reworking of information
- African philosophy: needs a lot of work!
