 Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy is an online encyclopedia on philosophical topics and philosophers founded by James Fieser in 1995.
It runs a traditional, closed procedure for commissioning and refereeing many of its articles comparable to that of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, but also has harvested material from public domain resources and student papers in order to create stop-gap articles while full articles are commissioned.
While the article quality is high, it generally aims for a more accessible and introductory level when compared to the scholarly and comprehesive tone of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

 Isaiah Berlin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its proponents (like Bentham and Mill) insisted that constraint and discipline were the antithesis of liberty and so were (and are) less prone to confusing liberty and constraint in the manner of the philosophical harbingers of modern totalitarianism.
In Berlin's words, the choice is whether one believes that "the lives of entire peoples and societies have been decisively influenced by exceptional individuals" or, rather, that whatever happens occurs as a result of impersonal forces oblivious to human intentions.

 Behaviorism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Behaviorism was a movement in psychology and philosophy that emphasized the outward behavioral aspects of thought and dismissed the inward experiential and sometimes the inner procedural aspects as well; a movement harking back to the methodological proposals of John B. Watson, who coined the name.
What is sometimes called the "formalist" or "ideal language" line of analytic philosophy seeks the logical and empirical regimentation of (would-be) scientific language for the sake of its scientific improvement.
As the the methodological emphasis of early analytic philosophy receded and was replaced by more frankly metaphysical concerns among formalist analytic philosophers of mind, it was chiefly this would-be metaphysical application of logical behaviorism that came increasingly under philosophical scrutiny.

 Thomas Hill Green   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
It was in the latter context that in 1881 he gave what became one of his most famous statements of his liberal philosophy, the ‘Lecture on Liberal Legislation and Freedom of Contract.’ At this time he was also lecturing on religion, epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy.
His religious thought and his conception of its relationship to the philosophy strongly suggests that he believed the eternal consciousness did exist within every human being, whether or not its existence was recognised and irrespective of the apparent logic of the particular individual's particular life-world.
Hence, Nicholson argues that “Green … centres his moral philosophy not on a system of all-encompassing substantive principles from which one can deduce the acts which ought to be done, but on a type of character in moral agents” (Nicholson, 1990, p.78).

 Johann Gottlieb Fichte [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
One of the tasks of philosophy, according to these lectures, is to offer rational guidance towards the ends that are most appropriate for a free and harmonious society.
He claimed that the principle of consciousness was a reflectively known fact of consciousness, and argued that it could lend credence to various Kantian views, including the distinction between the faculties of sensibility and understanding and the existence of things in themselves.
The former is transcendental philosophy; the latter, a naturalistic approach to experience that explains it solely in causal terms.

 A Field Guide to the Philosophy of Mind
Philosophy of mind and the philosophical issues arising in the allied domain of cognitive sciences constitute a fast developing territory, which is very well introduced by a number of excellent web resources (see our choice at RECOMMENDED LINKS section).
It is wide in scope (there are plenty of related metaphysics and epistemology entries) with some original features (for example, it uniquely provides a series of profiles of key figures in the philosophy of mind) and an overall fresh approach.
As a perfect celebration of the interdisciplinary character of cognitive sciences, this authoritative reference displays a great variety of high quality entries grouped into 6 sections (one being 'Philosophy'), spanning from the traditional ones, like a few offering profiles of some classical philosophers, to the more exotic and highly specialized.

 [No title]
Representationalism is probably the dominant approach to belief in contemporary philosophy of mind, advocated by Jerry Fodor (1975, 1981, 1987, 1990), Ruth Millikan (1984, 1993), Fred Dretske (1988), and Robert Cummins (1996), among many others.
Since the defense of physicalism has been one of the driving forces in philosophy of mind since the late twentieth century, and one of the principal reasons philosophers have been interested in accounts of propositional attitudes such as belief, this failure to advance the physicalist thesis may be seen as a substantial drawback.
Despite the intuitive appeal of this view, some widely accepted "Russellian" views in the philosophy of language appear committed to attributing to Lois exactly the same beliefs about Clark Kent as she has about Superman.

Open any contemporary introductory textbook and philosophy and it becomes clear that the problem of evil in contemporary philosophy is thought of as an argument for atheism.
Because of this, scholars have found inquiry into this feature of Leibniz's philosophy a particularly rewarding route for discovering some of the deeper motivations standing behind some of Leibniz's more puzzling philosophical views.
Yet because this topic represents such an active area of current Leibniz scholarship, it is clear that any conclusions we might draw on his views are, for now, preliminary and subject to revision.

If he didn't mean to be disparaging, he might use phrases like jurisprudential philosophy, or principled jurist, etc..
Biden speaks well of Sandra Day O'Connor is precisely because she was merely "open-minded" and never developed a higher structure to her thought.
Biden did not mean to use the word ideology in a disparaging, name-calling way, then he is guilty of anti-intellectualism — because if he only meant structured philosophical thought, well, that is the hallmark of intellectual activity.
