In response to the {{explain significance}} tag, I submit his CV. Philip J. Rayment 08:33, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] A serious scholar
Ruse is a serious scholar. He is published by the likes of Harvard University Press, University of Chicago Press, Cambridge University Press, etc. These presses do not publish cranks. I am not sufficiently familiar with his work to explain how he differs from Gould, Johnson and other scientists (Ruse is a philosopher of science).--BrentS 02:57, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Little confused by the end of this sentence:
"A prolific author published by prestigious university presses, he taught at the University of Guelph Canada for 35 years and since his retirement at Florida State University."
So, did he teach at Guelph, then go to Florida State U, then retire, or teach at Guelph, retire and then go to Florida State for some reason? A little clarification on that last part is needed. --Havermayer 23:00, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] American vs Canadian
Re category Ontario or Canadian academics being removed. How is it a person can be a Canadian citizen, spend 35 years teaching at a Canadian university, spend one or two years at a US university, and the person becomes an American philosopher? Now that is imperial appropriation!BrentS 05:31, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
