Talk:Definition of philosophy

Attempt of minimalistic definition of Philosophy: facilitating adaption of coherency in a communication system e.g. human language, e.g. to changing properties of it's capacity of representation, under the struggle of not having omnipotential representation capacity.

Wikipedia is not the place for original research and is hence not the place to present or argue for idiosyncratic notions of what philosophy is. I'm not saying your definition is incorrect; I'm just saying it's idiosyncratic to you, and therefore doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. --LMS

Wikipedia is also supposed to be in English. --LDC

Of course, you can put it in the essay page. --Ray G. Van De Walker

Where's the essay page??

I'm wondering why definition of philosophy was moved to philosophy? Philosophy and its definition are two distinct topics, in about the same way that biology and its definition are distinct topics. In each case, the former should be a general-level article (among other things) introducing the discipline, while the latter should be an article discussing the concept of the study, or what distinguishes the discipline from other disciplines. Discussions of what philosophy is often go into a lot of detail that probably doesn't belong in an article about philosophy. Does the person who moved the article disagree? --Larry Sanger
