Dull article

Can it be made more interesting? Biography is what it is, so why the heading – and it reads like a stub, so I added the stub tag. The article needs to flesh out the following for example, where he was born, who his parents were, what led him to the field he specialised in, what is the social/academic context of his ideas. Did he have a personal life? In what particulars was he "anything but" dull? Details please, anyone?Julia Rossi 10:38, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
