[edit] Additions

Added a number of prominent philosophies that had been excluded from the list. (How could anyone forget ontology and metaethics?) The Way 20:46, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Maybe someone should add primitivism?

[edit] Criteria for inclusion

I hesitate to start this argument, but this list currently includes at least four different kinds of thing:

  • particular sub-disciplines of academic philosophy - metaethics, philosophy of art
  • philosophical, ideological or religious positions - Marxism, Jainism, philosophical satanism
  • national traditions of thought - Czech philosophy, Korean philosophy
  • particular issues, mostly within academic philosophy - property dualism, qualia

I'm unsure that this makes for a useful list. Any thoughts, anyone?
