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]

This is a modern (last 30 years) report on the debate. It in no way counts as original research but copies what is said in many comtemporary introductory philosophy courses, especially in North America. The objectors show only their ignorance of current ideas. ---- JDsisson 11:17, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
