[edit] Writing Philosophy

Kenneth Clark, writing of the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica,

It must be the last encyclopædia in the tradition of Diderot which assumes that information can be made memorable only when it is slightly coloured by prejudice.

I couldn't agree more. However, this prejudice that Clark is talking about is more idiosyncratic rather than sectarian, it is more of an intellectual bias which is of a personal nature, which makes the writing that bit more interesting. After all, among the authors of the eleventh edition was Bertrand Russell, whose History of Western Philosophy reflects extremely personal views bordering on cantankerousness (e.g. against Aristotle), which one reads with abandonment and delight. It is Russell who produced this wry comment contrasting Animal Behaviour studies by Edward Thorndike and Wolfgang Koehler:

"All of the animals that have been carefully observed...have all displayed the national characteristics of the observer. Animals studied by Americans rush about frantically, with an incredible display of hustle and pep, and at last achieve the desired result by chance. Animals observed by Germans sit stiff and think, and at last evolve the solution out of their inner consciousness." [If a Lion Could Talk: Animal Intelligence and the Evolution of Consciousness, by Stephen Budiansky]]

Let's raise a glass to fun-to-read idiosyncratic writing, within the NPOV framework.

[edit] Translations

Must reflect what the author might have said had he been with us today. Translation is a shift, not only in language (space), but also in time.
