Talk:Innate idea

This looks like a personal essay of some kind. --Ryan Delaney ^talk 02:56, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be VFD'd. Alr 02:58, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You shouldn't vfd it because it's a good topic that needs explanation. Unfortunately I don't feel that I know enough about this to write an article I would be happy with. --Ryan Delaney ^talk 20:54, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard of it before. Google only gets 3,810 hits. I still say, if it's original research or a personal essay, you should put it up for VFD and create a new article with the same name later. Alr 03:46, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There's the makings of a decent article in here. The argument over innate ideas is an important part of the rationalist vs. empiricist debate. The presence of Leibniz and Locke is at least a step in the right direction. I don't think it warrants being VFD just yet. This article has also been tagged for a major overhaul in the Wiki philosophy project, so hopefully it can be cleaned up soon. --- Skubicki 04:14, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think the statements in the article are basically true and objective, and that the topic is definitely worth an article, and I don't really understand why this article is flagged. I'll try to supplement it with some of the more current information and give references etc. Neither 11:43, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
