Diff · History -33 Contemporary philosophy (c. 1900–present):
Diff · History -308 (reverted)  Undid revision 393857345 : As I've explained repeatedly on the Talk page, the source is an interview with a literary critic, not an expert on philosophy, and no specific cite is given.
Diff · History -424 Contemporary philosophy (c. 1900–present): rm worst sourced claim, fixing some capitalization errors, and trimming an empty contrast
Diff · History -406 (reverted)  Contemporary philosophy (c. 1900–present): restoring edits after discussion, as per WP:V

Diff · History -51 rm ambiguously placed parenthesis that was always unsourced

Diff · History 1,346 Medieval philosophy (c. 400–c. 1650): additional references and an averaging of the timeline
Diff · History -478 the "two senses" edit is not long-standing -- it is barely 2 months old. It is unsourced. It is incoherent, coming after the first sentence. It is a matter of definition, and so belongs in a disambig
Diff · History 185 Undid revision 339681175 by Snowded (talk) "long standing" is not a good reason to keep. New text is verified with note.
