I am interested in several major areas of Philosophy and Social Theory including:
* Political Philosophy * Ethics * Social Justice * Gender and Justice
Wikipedia Projects[edit]
I am interested in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy.
I am also interested in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Judaism.
Wikipedia Philosophy Project[edit]
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.
WikiProject Philosophy task list
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.
