Jordan Peterson?
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)
- 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)
Contemporary Western philosophy
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)
