Manual of Style[edit]

This article is written in a personalized language that's incompatible with an encyclopedia.

Examples:

'...This is an important achievement...' (who judges it important?)

'...the problem with such general characterizations...' (who judges it general?)

'...they are usually too vague...' (who judges it too vague?)

'...they apply not just to philosophy but also to some non-philosophical disciplines...' (who's making this claim? which non-philosophical disciplines?)

'...thereby fail to distinguish philosophy from them...' (says who?)

Thanks for the suggestions, I implemented several reformulations but I'm not sure that they are strictly speaking required. Whether attribution is required depends on how controversial a view is and is usually not necessary for widely accepted claims. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:19, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
