I'm a relatively new member of the wikipedia community, and I have a strong interest in philosophy. I'm also an avid generalist who believes that much of the jargon of contemporary academics serves the sole purpose of "keeping outsiders out." Though this does some good by setting a lower limit on those allowed into a specific academic community (only those who understand and use the jargon correctly are allowed in) this modest gain is offset by a tremendous loss in interdisciplinary work, which I believe to be absolutely essential to creating scholarly work with real world relevance.

I am currently working on filling out the Wikipedia entries on the [History of Philosophy]?, starting with the Ancient Greek philosophers, I hope to get reasonable articles on all of the pre-Socratic philosophers in the next couple of weeks. After that I'll spend a week or two on each of the "big three" and another couple of weeks on the later Hellinistic philosophers. This should set the stage for the discussion of Midieval Philosophy, which will take considerably longer to finish.
