Talk:Ancient philosophy

message: The article describes philosophy as a purely white, European, etc study, area of knowledge. It ignores Nubian, Khemetic, Olmec, Mayan, Inca, Zulu, Yoruba, Taino, aboriginal Australian philosophy.   Wikipedia must not allow editors that have racist ideologies (based on white supremacy) to edit and spread racism, academic dishonesty and spread mistruths masquerading as academic research. For several years my edits on Wikipedia have been removed within minutes to hours by said racist editors.   I have been keeping screenshots (before and after) and will continue to forward such evidence to relevant authorities in an attempt to end racism on Wikipedia and via Wikipedia. PS: I've also been blocked at various junctures by said individuals. --2604:2000:DDD1:4900:A074:AF95:8B69:F2F0 (talk) 06:06, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Article lacks credibility because of the racism inherent in it

message: There used to be a section for presocratic philosophers. I don't know why it was removed, but I added the presocratics, since they clearly count as both ancient and philosophers. --D. Webb 18:53, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Presocratics

message: I moved Pyrrho, Epicurus and others down to Arcessilaus to the Hellenistic section (they were in the Classcal philosophers section) since Epicurus, the Stoics, Pyrrho and the sceptical tradition are always taken to be hellenistic philosophers. --D. Webb 18:53, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Hellenistic philosophers

message: It is not clear to me that Plutarch and Sextus Empiricus are Roman as opposed to Greek philosophers, even though they lived in the Roman Empire. At any rate, they are not Roman philosophers in the same sense ans e.g. Lucretius or Cicero. Accordingly I changed the section heading to include late antiquity, which seems suitable since in that section we find figures like Proclus and Simplicius, which clearly count as late antiquity. --D.

thread_title: Roman philosophy

message: This page is devoted to *ancient* philosophy.  The continuation of any lineage into Medieval philosophy is the topic for another page.  In particular, Iranian philosophy can be divided nicely into pre-Islamic and Islamic periods, with the pre-Islamic period being "ancient".  So roughly 600 CE as a cutoff works pretty well for both European and Iranian ancient philosophies.  137.53.241.1 (talk) 19:30, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
