Thanks Tim for the editing job but i reckon you just chucked the baby out with the bathwater so to speak...it now reads anti the title and is now inherently far too pro-science. This is not the spirit of fragmentalism at all so if this article is retained rather than deleted it will still need some further revision to bring it back to something good. Why did you dump the Indian lady link? Vandana Sjiva and her quote...she is wicked & an excellent source...anyway thanks oh well, I guess tomorrow is another day, cheers Peter morrell 19:44, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I thought the article was unbalanced as the original version spent the majority of the text criticising the idea rather then defining the idea and discussing its development and use. To have one paragraph define a concept and then the four subsequent paragraphs decrying it does not even come near to a neutral point of view. This new version of the article is not "Pro-anything", it merely describes the idea, its uses and relation to other philosophical positions. However, I've asked for some feedback from the Philosophy Wikiproject, as metaphysics really isn't my area of expertise! TimVickers 21:01, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

The reason for this is that it is a pejorative term. And that should come through in the article. Hence the negative quotes... Peter morrell 08:53, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Rewritten to make this clear. TimVickers 14:33, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Mmm wow! well done, Tim, that is a great improvement. Thanks again Peter morrell 14:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
