[edit] Unsolved problems in philosophy

I'm not very sure whether philosophy can ever have 'solved' or 'unsolved' questions. Solved to whose satisfaction? This is POV and a little confused --Doc (?) 23:36, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Good idea, but inherently POV, unsalvagable. --malathion ^talk 23:43, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - POV, not to mention that fact any philosophical question may have multitude of answers, none of which are essentially false. Subjects the page mentions should be handled in their own pages - Skysmith 08:31, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep I've attempted to rectify somewhat the most egregious thing that existed before and completely rewrote it. Hope it suffices as a rewrite and stays. Danny Pi 20:41, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep There is a whole collection of "Unsolved problems in X" topics, this is just one of them. Most of the other articles are little more than lists of links to other pages. The items on this page could also refer to other articles, but currently does not. I belive it should be kept, and relevant articles linked. I would say that a problem in philosophy is "unsolved" if people are still talking about it. I like the idea of collections of unsolved problems because it gives people somewhere to go when they are looking for something interesting to think about. I had never heard of the "Gettier problem" and probably never would have but for this page. --David Battle 00:05, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
