List of philosophical topics/Talk

Now that we've made this huge list of philosophical topics, it might be a good idea to get it completely right: the titles should be correctly spelled and capitalized and disambiguated per Wikipedia's naming conventions. Getting this stuff right, particularly spelling and disambiguation, will make Wikipedia more attractive to philosophers who are considering joining us. --LMS

I agree. I started this list on my personal page, and then moved it to a real page only after thinking it could be use to others. I am working on cleaning it up. I've been typing in topics as I think of them, and have not always been on a machine with a spell checker. I plan to finish entering stuff for all the letters, and then go ahead and copy edit the whole thing. Once that is done, I'll: A) start filling in stubs for as many entries as I can, and B) start trying to find people willing to work on specific entries. MRC

OK, so I am trying to clean some of these up. We can't yet disambiguate with (), but I think I'll put them in that way for now, so they will be right when the software is updated. Also, is there some better way of doing possesives than just leaving out the apostrophe? MRC

Just leave the apostrophes and parentheses out for now...or maybe it would be better to put them in, on the theory that by the time we want to write articles on those topics, the links will work. Actually, I like that theory. I'd suggest working with the Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy (a one volume dictionary-encyclopedia, really excellent, if you haven't seen it before) to check spellings and other such matters. --LMS
