[edit] standard for inclusion

some of the people on this list may not be philosophers, is there a standard for inclusion that differentiates philosophers from literary writers? --Buridan 02:18, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] routledge

let's keep in mind, that the routledge book does not actually define rand as a philosopher as reported in other discussions. does anyone have a copy of that book to look up her entry?--Buridan 13:12, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I have a copy and she isn't defined as a philosopher therein. But this list says nothing about anyone being defined as anything. Surely some people have called her a philosopher, and that is enough. There are so few female role models in philosophy that we shouldn't be trying to eliminate any of the few that have made themselves visible. KSchutte 20:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
