The philosopedia for the new generation of thinkers


Wikiphilosophers is a philosopedia aiming to provide an overview of all philosophical ideas from new philosophers and thinkers. On Wikiphilosophers, you can articulate all your philosophical views under the lemma to which they belong. In this way, we collect hundreds of philosophies from today's thinkers!

Would you, for example, like to write something about your ideas of what is justice? Then go to the lemma called "Justice" and put your philosophy in this namespace under "Justice/<your username>". Don't forget to write a very brief summary of your idea on the "Justice" lemma and add a link to your entry. You could choose to substantiate your philosophy with (scientific) sources or share where you've drawn inspiration from, but you can also opt to present an entirely new philosophy.
