== Dear MPants! The Philosophy Noticeboard above reads: "Feel free to discuss any topics relating to philosophy here". You have just removed my contribution "Discussion/Research Starter for the Fundamental Relationship Between Philosophy and Democracy/Republic" without any hint for the reason, and I cannot figure out how to contact you in another way to obtain some short explanation; I trust you have read my contribution and am shure you are busy most of the time, but the huge choice of reasons Misplaced Pages offers is not constructive -- Certainly this talk site is not an encyclopedia entry and is meant to be less restrictive, but with the aim of improving current entries without being a shallow blog forum. The altruistic-hedonism philosophy I (being a lay philosopher with thorough analytical thinking thus realising its important relationship to democracy) discovered in an old Britannica encyclopedia, but modern philosophy appears not to contain references to it. Please let me know (I am not familiar with abbreviations commonly used in such communications), or if the layout was to blame... Greetings,--Fritz Fehling (talk) 01:43, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Comparison

Any philosophical insight that would be useful for the improvement of Draft:Comparison would be appreciated. Cheers! bd2412 T 19:12, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

Missing topic

When researching polychora, I came across the idea that spirits are four-dimensional beings. However, I do not see this anywhere on Misplaced Pages. LaundryPizza03 (talk) 09:56, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Unity in diversity

Could I get some feedback on Unity in diversity? Sometime back in April 2017 the page was significantly altered to state that "Unity in diversity" was merely a political motto, but I feel like there's a good case for it being more of an overarching philosophical concept—even if the phrase itself is sometimes used as a slogan. The Lalonde ref on that page mentions that the concept was current in Taoist societies as well as in Ancient Greece, but all I've been able to find so far was its treatment by Ibn al-Arabi and his followers. Would anyone else have any leads on good sources to expand this article? dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 15:04, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Henry Clay Brockmeyer

I just put together a biography of this German-born Hegelian, who seems like he was important in the early history of Hegel in America and of the "St. Louis Movement". If anyone wants to look it over and maybe find something better to say about his impact, that would be great. Anyways, there is at least something on him now.

Value theory needs your help

Value theory is overly essay-like and needs more citations to sources.

Would anyone here care to review and improve this article?

Topics in Metaphysics

Someone has been repeatedly removing much of the content of the article Metaphysics listing the central topics of the field (in a structure closely mirroring other authoritative sources like SEP) citing poor referencing for those being within the domain of metaphysics. Some other editors' attention there would be appreciated. --Pfhorrest (talk) 18:54, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Critique of Pure Reason

Hello. I have a dispute with Διοτιμα at the article Critique of Pure Reason. I have attempted to engage with this user and discuss the dispute at the article's talk page. He has, however, ignored me. I would welcome any comments on the issue, whatever they are, from editors interested in philosophy. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 20:08, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

This user has also tampered with Fundamental ontology. Their latest additions seem to be a personal interpretation of Being and Time. --Omnipaedista (talk) 00:44, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Omnipaedista. I would appreciate it if you could comment about the dispute on the talk page of the article Critique of Pure Reason. There is a similar dispute at Introduction to Metaphysics (Heidegger) that you might also want to comment on. To be completely explicit about it, I am not asking you or other editors to agree with me. I welcome your comments whatever they are. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 20:49, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

A link to a DAB page

Index of philosophy articles (I–Q) contains a link to the DAB page Pien which has me baffled. Can any expert here help solve the problem? Narky Blert (talk) 15:16, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Pien refers to the concept of gradual transformation in Confucian or Taoist philosophy; see for instance Bianhua#Later_usages. --Mark viking (talk) 18:44, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

@Mark viking: In that case, can you repair that bad link, and perhaps also update the DAB page? I don't feel competent to do so. Narky Blert (talk) 22:07, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Y Done. --Mark viking (talk) 23:23, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
