“

A great many people think they are thinking

when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

”

— William James

Name: Orgone

Occupation: Undergraduate Student of Philosophy

Specific interests: Philosophy of psychology / Mind, Metaphysics, Political Philosophy.

Currently watching/editing: Evolutionary psychology, Self (philosophy) and Personal identity, The Evolutionary Psychology Forum, at the Psychology Wiki and articles relating to the work of Robert Burns who shares my birthday.

Orgone's Top Tip: Omniwiki! Look up any Wikipedia article directly from any web page by merely highlighting the word you want to know more about and clicking a button! Use this javascript as a link in your browser toolbar (make sure you get it all on one line, a simple Copy/Paste will probably only get the first line):

javascript:q = %22%22 + (window.getSelection ? window.getSelection() : document.getSelection ? document.getSelection() : document.selection.createRange().text); if (!q) q = prompt(%22Enter a Wikipedia topic:%22, %22%22); /* if (q!=null) { location=%22http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22 + escape(q).replace(/ /g, %22+%22);} void 0; */ if (q!=null) { WindowObjectReference = window.open(%22http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22 + escape(q).replace(/ /g, %22+%22), %22DescriptiveWindowName%22, %22resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes%22); } void 0;

When you highlight a word and click the link, a new window will open up with the Wikipedia article for that word! You can change the URL and have the link take you to Wiktionary definitions, or even just a Google search on the term (put in "http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=") So there it is, have fun with it!

WikiProject Philosophy task list

German Idealism and almost all the articles related to it need to be either rewritten or expanded, because a wikipedia user called Lestrade has, among other things, taken it upon himself to imbue each page with bias in favour of Schopenhauer, who he attempts to present as having the last say in everything. This is a terrible thing to do, because German Idealism is such an important period in philosophy, whose influence is still strongly felt today.
Protected Values first section confuses right action and values and needs a copy edit, moving and wikifying
Ludwig Wittgenstein is having its FA status reviewed due to a couple of concerns. Help save Ludwig! See Wikipedia:Featured article review/Ludwig Wittgenstein for requirements for retaining FA status.
Quality (philosophy) needs a more clear explanation.
Socratic dialogues could do with some tidying and clarification. See the talk page for one suggested change.
Problem of universals: The introductory definition is (perhaps) fixed. But, the article is poor. Check out the German version.
Teleology: the article is shallow and inconsistent.
Existentialism: the quality of this article varies wildly and is in desperate need of expert attention.
Star of Sophia Vote for or nominate someone you think is deserving!
Analytic_philosophy This is a very major topic, but still has several sections which are stubs, and several topics which are not covered.
Inverse (logic) This article makes me wish that there were a fail grade on the quality scale. Someone should rewrite it.
