Navya-Nyaya section[edit]

The section on Indian philosophy appears to need some serious work. I'm not familiar enough with the topic to be able to do much myself, but the final paragraph may need to be deleted and rewritten entirely, as it isn't very readable at this stage. Maybe changing the whole thing to a shorter summary of early modern Indian philosophy and redirecting to the main article would work better. Mthom1312 (talk) 12:12, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

it's off-topic for the article, so i've removed it. we can have the discussion about whether or not there's a better name for this article but "philosophy in the Early modern period in Western Europe" is a discrete topic that should have an article unto itself. And if we're going to have an article on developments in the different parts of the world at the same time (the value of which seems dubious to me but I won't stop other people from writing it...) then, at least it should correspond to the *same* time period in history!

Consistency[edit]

The Overview section seems to describe only Occidental philosophy, which is not consistent with the presence of an Asian philosophy section. Guillaume Faye-Bédrin (talk) 23:31, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hobbes[edit]

Probably there should be less on Thomas Hobbes and more on a diversity of the thinkers mentioned in the beginning of that section.

At least the normal litany of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Berkeley, Locke, Hume, Kant should probably have their own sections if we're going to discuss specific people (which we probably should...) Psychastes (talk) 03:58, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
