encyclopedia.

OK, ok you guys don't seem to get the point of my
post. What I meant was that ANY philosophical text, is
inappropriate for an ENCYCLOPEDIA, because it's
obviously cannot become consensus, and will always
remain merely a POV.
It's like saying that by creating a wiki trying to
"define" *what* is "art" , you will eventually (and
ultimately) get to the point of consensus. that
everyone will agree: "Yes, exactly, that is art".
Great, all our problems solved, the wiki said Art is
defined by X, Thought is Y and Knowledge is Z.
Some things just shouldn't be written into a wiki.
Rotem.
