[edit] So where's the article?
I'd speedy delete this as no content, but it seems a bunch of people have put a lot of work into getting it to its current state of a dinky list and some empty headings. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:52, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I'll take your word for it. Do those people plan on putting anything in here, or want help? The concept is okay, but it needs something more than links. WhiteC 09:14, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- There should definitely be some real content here. (Says the man who will never have time to contribute any.) How about a condensed version of the histories of all these different philosophical headings? (Condensed history of western philosophy, etc.) It would also be a good place to compare and contrast the different histories and movements. — Adam Conover † 07:48, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Easter / Western / Abrahamic
I am not sure these are all on the same level, or that Abrahamic traditions (especially Christian) are fully separate from Western philosophy. The Christian philosophers used Greek philosophy to help create what is Western philosophy until the secularization of modernity. No? gren 16:26, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Lack of Content
There already is a separate article on the history of western philosophy. This article claims to be of the history of philosophy in general, yet while it has a detailed (though not detailed enough!) section on western philosophy, eastern philosophy is relegated to a few links. Either a section on eastern philosophy needs to be added or this article should be deleted. We don't need two articles specifically on western philosophical history.

[edit] Lack of More Information
There needs to be more information of the various philosophies of those other religions - seriously, this article needs improvements. Eastern philosophy should be as diverse as Western philosophy. User:Xinyu
[edit] Where to begin?
This page, no offense, remains a total mess. I just added John Locke, David Hume and Adam Smith to the section on modern philosophy. The fact that these men were left out shows just how much work needs to be done. The section on modern philosophy still needs to be reworded, as it consists of gross over-simplifications. The same is the case with the rest of the article. On top of this, the fact that there is essentially nothing concerning eastern philosophy is inexcusable (though, I must be excused as I don't have the time to update it myself!). Hopefully someone can try to make some changes to make this article worthwhile. --The Way 07:23, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Link suggestion
Is this link acceptable for this article (link-owner, apologize, self-promotion?):

Is it history or geography?? Again it is quite misleading, to start history of philosophy with Greeks, and then later add an almost trivial link to so called eastern philosophy. I am ready for a debate to understand what philosophy means and how come the Indian philosophy of Upnishads, Mimansa, Vedanta, Gita etc- the different schools of thoughts, which predate Greek philosphy by more than 500 years and have excellent philosophical debates- are not mentioned in the beginning. You want to talk about history of philosophy and start as if it is geography of philosiophy?? Going from west to east? Right? Let me know how come wikipedia be so scared and prejudiced when writing informational articles. Check your own wiki pages to know when Indian philosophy started.
