I have been silent reading a mass of misinformed and silly attacks on Larry's fine article on philosophical knowledge and epistemology.
I have confessed being misinformed on the subject of philosophy (and other various cognitive subjects), and I apologize about the hostile attitude I have shown towards larry's text and this mailing-list's participants in general.
Nevertheless, the discussion has diverged to other topics not necessarily related to larry or his writing. For example, I have recently added a new addition to the "What Wikipedia is Not" article, from what was criticism of the very suitability of these types of texts to wikipedia, the guideline/rule in its current form goes like this:
What Wikipedia is not . .
19. An educational textbook. Though Wikipedia attempts to explain many non-trivial scientific and philosophical topics, articles should not be written merely with the intention of teaching the subject, this is what book references are for.
I plan to add more refinements to the policies and rules in the next weeks.
