Should we add him? Especially his evolutionary approach - https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/389822-philosopher-jordan-peterson-will-change-the-world.Sourcerery (talk) 10:51, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No. He is a public intellectual, but as far as I can tell not a professional philosopher. I am not insulting him, this just isn't the field he works in. I'm sure he publishes claims about biology in his work, but that doesn't make him a biologist anymore than making appeals to philosophy in his popularizing work makes him a philosopher. And he's a psychologist, I believe. If he ever publishes in a peer-reviewed philosophy journal then my vote might change. Who "The Hill" or any newspaper or journalist/news outlet calls a "philosopher" doesn't really matter. If we do add him, then he belongs in the "Outside the profession" section alongside Ayn Rand, because he isn't a working philosopher. - Atfyfe (talk) 00:33, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

When and why did this article change its title to "Contemporary Western philosophy"? I see no discussion of this in the page history. Atfyfe (talk) 00:21, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello editors, I would like to propose adding Infinitology (a contemporary philosophical system, articulated 2026 under the pseudonym K. Verum) to the See also section of this article. The system rests on the equation ∞ = 0 and is thematically related to the subject matter here. Brief context for context: * The system has documented presence at infinitology.net. * It has been the subject of an academic preprint on Academia.edu and a submission to PhilPapers (currently in moderation review). * It is referenced on Wikidata as Q[YOUR_NUMBER]. I am the conflict of interest-disclosed editor for this topic; my user page documents this. I am not proposing a new article or substantive paragraph in the body — only a See also link, which I understand to be the most appropriate placement for contemporary related work. If there are objections or if a different article would be more appropriate, I welcome the feedback. Thank you. ~~~~ ~2026-28615-59 (talk) 11:39, 12 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
