About Me

[edit]

UnsoundResonance has been a wikipedian as of 20:43, March 1, 2006 (UTC). The current date and time is 20 December 2024 T 01:48 UTC. He has a B.A. in English, a B.A. in Philosophy, and an M.A. in English.

But call me Joe.

My areas of focus will likely pertain to English or Philosophy, or any of the plentitude of subcategories within them. I consider myself an avid fan of Wikipedia, and have been for some time, but I am still rather new to the process of editing Wikipedia entries.

After some time of altering pages, I think it is time to say that I am a fan of the "task" links to be found below, particularly the "wikify" section. I find a lot of work through those links.

  • 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.
