The present bold headings at the end of the history of philosophy article constitute a proposed outline of the rest of the article. I would suggest that we give several introductory paragraphs about philosophy in each period, to be kept consistent with the introductory paragraphs in the articles about each period; the articles can go into more depth. That's just my idea, though; you might have a better one.
The "general outline" began life on philosophy and should be kept up-to-date with the philosophy page. I.e., if you make changes to those paragraphs, then please, change the paragraphs on philosophy as well.
By the way, I, as someone who has studied the history of philosophy (esp. Descartes, Hume, and Reid) a fair bit, am very excited about the prospects of writing about the history of philosophy in a wiki/hypertext format. It really does seem the best way to do it! --LMS
