This is from a public domain 1911 encyclopedia. The sections in ??? are scanos for Greek words: can anyone look them up, and fix this article? -- The Anome 11:54, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Revised[edit]

Entirely rewritten

Possible plagiarism[edit]

The text of this article is identical to that found on this webpage. I can't determine whether that page's author took the text from Wikipedia or vice versa, so I'm just noting it here in case anybody's interested in investigating further.

Salmon Rushdie avows[edit]

I just flagged this article for expert needed (Philosophy). The lead is excessive and the tone is way too highbrow, and inquisitive rather than declarative.

I came here upon returning to an article from last year, captured in my own notes:

Too much exposure to strangers online can collapse one's faith in humanity. In the novel, Rushdie refers to "synderesis", the philosophical principle that people are born with an innate moral consciousness directing them towards good. Does he believe that? "I think there is an ethical sense," he says. "I do believe that we're born with a need to know what is right and wrong, which is why children accept the instruction of parents on the subject. We need to know what are the boundaries of good and bad behaviour in order to function in the world. I don't think we automatically know what is right or wrong, but I think we have the desire to know."

So there's one fragment for the imminent :-) expert to assist in achieving navel-lint escape velocity. — MaxEnt 19:49, 13 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Compliments to the composers of this page[edit]

I'm unsure of why this page is annotated as needing the attention of a wikiphilosoph. It seems to me to be one of the better constructed pages in Wikipedia. Nick_cool (talk) 23:08, 5 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
