Projects

I concentrate especially on articles that are in Template:Logic. I would like to ensure that we get complete articles, with a consistent format, straight story, inclusive and consistent terminology. I would like to make sure that these articles cover the philosophical component, specifically that the foundational ideas are covered.

General idea:The four-year-old asks questions

The four-year old asks endlessly:"..and why is that?" Well because of x. 4YO:"..and why is that?" Well because of y. 4YO:"..and why is that?" Well because of z. At some point we get into the metaphysical foundation of things. I would like for Wikipedia to be able to help someone navigate productively in the pursuit of these answers.

WikiProject Philosophy task list

German Idealism and almost all the articles related to it need to be either rewritten or expanded, because a wikipedia user called Lestrade has, among other things, taken it upon himself to imbue each page with bias in favour of Schopenhauer, who he attempts to present as having the last say in everything. This is a terrible thing to do, because German Idealism is such an important period in philosophy, whose influence is still strongly felt today.
Protected Values first section confuses right action and values and needs a copy edit, moving and wikifying
Ludwig Wittgenstein is having its FA status reviewed due to a couple of concerns. Help save Ludwig! See Wikipedia:Featured article review/Ludwig Wittgenstein for requirements for retaining FA status.
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.
Star of Sophia Vote for or nominate someone you think is deserving!
Analytic_philosophy This is a very major topic, but still has several sections which are stubs, and several topics which are not covered.
Inverse (logic) This article makes me wish that there were a fail grade on the quality scale. Someone should rewrite it.
