[edit] new entry on Burge

I started this entry on Burge a few days ago. Given that hundreds of other philosophers have Wiki entries, lack of an entry on Burge was a significant lacuna. I wrote a discussion of Burge's view on anti-individualism. I think other discussions are a good idea, in particular about de re belief and Burge's writings on epistemology. Hopefully, these can be discussions of graduate-level quality.

Why are there books and collections in the bibliography (e.g.Fodor and Putnam) which are not authored by Burge and which do not contain works by him?

DP (10/30/07 8:30pm)

The sources in the bibliography are/were there because they were referenced in the article. I did not intend the bibliography to be a list of works by Burge. This was the citation style I adopted, which is the style of Stanford Encyclopedia (parathetical references in the body with a list of works cited at the end). However, the Wikipedia standard is footnotes. So anyone should feel free to make that change.

Um, does this mean anything to anyone?
