Theodor W. Adorno lead
Theodor W. Adorno (born Theodor Ludwig Wiesengrund; September 11, 1903 – August 6, 1969) was a German sociologist, philosopher and musicologist who is widely regarded as one of the twentieth century's foremost aestheticians and essayists. He was a leading member of the Frankfurt School –a collection of like-minded critical theorists and writers for whom the work of Freud, Marx and Hegel was essential to the analysis of modern society – and, as a critic of both fascism and what he dubbed the "culture industry", his writings, in particular the Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947), Minima Moralia (1951) and Negative Dialectics (1966), strongly influenced the European New Left. Contrary to the vogue enjoyed by existentialism and positivism during the early to mid-twentieth century, Adorno advanced a dialectical conception of natural history that.

Adorno was a pianist [who became committed to avant-garde music and] whose interest in modernism led to his studying Arnold Schoenberg's "twelve-tone" method of composition with Schoenberg's pupil Alban Berg

His interest in modernism [as in music] [suffused/affected/...] his writing

Adorno's commitment to avant-garde music formed the backdrop of his subsequent writings and led to his collaboration with Thomas Mann on the latter's novel Doctor Faustus, while the two men lived in California as exiles during the Second World War. Working for the newly relocated Institute for Social Research, Adorno collaborated on influential studies of authoritarianism, anti-semitism and propaganda that would later serve as models for sociological studies the Institute carried out in post-war Germany.

Upon his return to Frankfurt, Adorno was involved with the reconstitution of German intellectual life through debates with Karl Popper on the limitations of positivist science, critiques of Heidegger's language of authenticity, writings on German responsibility for the Holocaust, and continued interventions into matters of public policy. As a writer of polemics in the tradition of Nietzsche and Karl Kraus, Adorno delivered scathing critiques of contemporary Western culture. Adorno's posthumously published Aesthetic Theory, which he planned to dedicate to Samuel Beckett, is the culmination of a lifelong commitment to modern art which attempts to revoke the "fatal separation" of feeling and understanding long demanded by the history of philosophy and explode the privilege aesthetics accords to content over form and contemplation over immersion.

Archaeology lead


Archaeology (archeology ) is the study of human history through the discovery, recovery and analysis of the traces it has left in the environment. Among these are material remains such as artifacts and [ architecture ]

activity in the past, primarily through the recovery and analysis of the material culture and environmental data that they have left behind, which includes artifacts, architecture, biofacts (also known as eco-facts) and cultural landscapes (the archaeological record). Because archaeology employs a wide range of different procedures, it can be considered to be both a social science and a humanity, and in the United States it is thought of as a branch of anthropology, although in Europe it is viewed as a separate discipline.

Archaeology studies human prehistory and history from the development of the first stone tools in eastern Africa 4 million years ago up until recent decades. (Archaeology does not include the discipline of paleontology). It is of most importance for learning about prehistoric societies, when there are no written records for historians to study, making up over 99% of total human history, from the Paleolithic until the advent of literacy in any given society. Archaeology has various goals, which range from studying human evolution to cultural evolution and understanding culture history.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation and eventually analysis of data collected to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. It draws upon anthropology, history, art history, classics, ethnology, geography, geology,  linguistics, semiology, physics, information sciences, chemistry, statistics, paleoecology, paleontology, paleozoology, paleoethnobotany, and paleobotany.

Archaeology developed out of antiquarianism in Europe during the 19th century, and has since become a discipline practiced across the world. Since its early development, various specific sub-disciplines of archaeology have developed, including maritime archaeology, feminist archaeology and archaeoastronomy, and numerous different scientific techniques have been developed to aid archaeological investigation. Nonetheless, today, archaeologists face many problems, such as dealing with pseudoarchaeology, the looting of artifacts, a lack of public interest, and opposition to the excavation of human remains.

Himalayas lead


The Himalayas, also known as Himalaya ( or ; हिमालय, hima ("snow") + ālaya ("dwelling"), meaning "abode of the snow") is a mountain range in South Asia that lies between the Indo-Gangetic Plain and the Tibetan Plateau. It is home to every peak on Earth over 8000 m in altitude – including the world's highest peak, Mount Everest – and more than one hundred of its peaks exceed 7200 m. Many of them are considered sacred in Buddhism and Hinduism and the range has exerted a profound influence on the cultures of South Asia.

The Tibetan Plateau marks the northern border of the Himalayas, while

The Himalayas are bordered on the north by the, on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain, on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges, and on the east by the Indian state of Assam. The western anchor of the Himalayas — Nanga Parbat — lies just south of the northernmost bend of the Indus River, while the eastern anchor — Namcha Barwa — is situated just west of the great bend of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. The Himalayas span five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China, and Pakistan, with the first three countries having sovereignty over most of the range.

Lifted by the collision of the Indian tectonic plate with the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan range runs northwest to southeast in a 2400 km long arc. The range varies in width from 400 km in the west to 150 km in the east. Besides the Greater Himalayas, there are several parallel lower ranges. The southernmost of these, located along the northern edge of the Indian plains and reaching about a thousand meters in altitude, are called the Sivalik Hills. Further north is a higher range, reaching two to three thousand meters, known as the Lower Himalayan Range.

Three of the world's major rivers — the Indus, the Ganges and the Brahmaputra — arise in the Himalayas. While the Indus and the Brahmaputra rise near Mount Kailash in Tibet, the Ganges rises in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. Their combined drainage basin is home to some 600 million people.

Is there a function or something I may use to produce a list of the parameters appearing in some (lengthy) template code..? Apologies if I've overlooked or forgotten something nearby. Sardanaphalus (talk) 11:17, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

 * I have sometimes wanted the same. I don't know about Sardanaphalus but my purpose is usually to look for undocumented parameters so I can use them in template calls or add them to documentation. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:50, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the prompt responses. Prime Hunter's scenario is the context: undocumented parameters within lengthy templates. Sardanaphalus (talk) 14:07, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * For wikitext templates, perhaps this could be done with Parsoid? I'm not at all sure of the details on that, though. For Lua modules, there's no way that I know of to do this automatically, and writing the code to do it would be very difficult as you need to be able to parse arbitrary Lua code. To do it manually, though, a simple text search for "args" will usually do the trick, as that is the standard name for a module's arguments table. A parameter named "foo" can look like args.foo or args["foo"]. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 14:59, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * There's a clever trick invented (IIRC) by and/or  that does something like that, in template code.  Trouble is it's so clever I can never remember it. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 19:36, 9 November 2014 (UTC).
 * For regular (i.e. non-Lua) templates I look for triple opening braces. If there are a lot, I copy the template's wikisource to a text editor, and use regexps to insert a newline before each set of triple opening braces, before each pipe, and before each set of triple closing braces. Then I save the file, grep for the triple opening braces and send it through sort and uniq which gives me my param list. For Lua templates, it's worse than as described by Mr. Stradivarius because the args list might not be in the main module; you've got to search all the submodules too - if you can work out which they are. -- Red rose64 (talk) 19:45, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

You might want to invoke TemplateDataGenerator once within template or template documentation page, looking at preview and compare displayed output with already known and documented parameters. Module:TemplateDataGenerator is locally available. You could also use a recent TemplateData Utility which produces the same list of detected parameters, but the module offers sorting and works also on doc page.

Telos (lead)
(, some rephrasings/links, cn)

A telos (τέλος telos meaning "end", "purpose", "goal"), in the sense used by philosophers such as Aristotle, is an end or purpose, especially when regarded as being innate. It is the root of the word "teleology"

It takes a central role in Aristotle's biology and his theory of causes.

and is the from which the word "teleology"{{aside|the study of purposiveness or intentionality. Teleology figures centrally in Aristotle's biology and in. It is central to nearly all philosophical theories of history, such as those of Hegel and Marx. One running debate in contemporary philosophy of biology is to what extent teleological language (as in the "purpose" or "purposes" of organs, living processes, etc) is unavoidable or simply a shorthand for ideas that, ultimately, are nonteleological. The philosophy of action also makes essential use of teleological vocabulary; according to Donald Davidson,{{citation needed|date=December 2014}} an action is something an agent does with intention{{spndash}}that is, with the sense of an outcome or end to be achieved by the action.

Although not mutually exclusive, telos is contrasted with techne, the rational method involved in producing an object or accomplishing a goal or objective.

David Hume (partial lead)
David Hume (7 May NS [26 April 1711 OS] 1711 –25 August 1776) was a Scottish philosopher, historian, economist and essayist who is generally considered to be of the most significant figures in the history of Western philosophy, a key figure of the Scottish Enlightenment and "widely regarded as the greatest [philosopher] who has ever written in the English language." Today, he is most remebered for his philosophical empiricism and scepticism.

Hume is often grouped with John Locke, George Berkeley and others as a British Empiricist.

Beginning with his A Treatise of Human Nature (1739), Hume strove to create a total naturalistic "science of man" that examined the psychological basis of human nature. In opposition to the rationalists who preceded him, most notably Descartes, he concluded that desire rather than reason governed human behaviour. He also argued against the existence of innate ideas, concluding that humans have knowledge only of things they directly experience. He argued that inductive reasoning and therefore causality cannot be justified rationally. Our assumptions in favour of these result from custom and constant conjunction rather than logic. He concluded that humans have no actual conception of the self, only of a bundle of sensations associated with the self.

Atheistic existentialism (partial)
Atheistic existentialism (adj. "atheist-existential"), sometimes referred to as "atheist existentialism", is a kind of existentialism which strongly diverged from the Christian existential works of Søren Kierkegaard and has developed within the context of an atheistic worldview.

The philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard provided existentialism's theoretical foundation in the 19th century. Atheistic existentialism began to be recognized after the 1943 publication of Being and Nothingness by Jean-Paul Sartre, and Sartre later explicitly alluded to it in Existentialism is a Humanism in 1946. Sartre had previously written in the spirit of atheistic existentialism in works such as the novel Nausea (1938) and short-story collection The Wall (1939). Simone de Beauvoir likewise wrote from an atheist-existential perspective.

Thought
"Atheistic existentialism" refers to the exclusion of any religious beliefs from philosophical existentialist thought. As Heidegger indicated, however, atheistic, religious or metaphysical existentialism can nevertheless share phenomenological elements such as anguish or rebellion.

Demographics of atheism lead
A basic demographics of atheism suggests that atheists comprise around 2% of the world's population and the irreligious (non-religious) a further 16%. With the exception of Eastern Asia – particularly China – and some European countries, where they form a majority, atheists and the irrelgious typically form less than 10% of a population.

According to a 2012 study by WIN-Gallup International, religiosity is in decline worldwide amidst growing numbers of people identifying themselves as atheists or non-religious. A report by the Center for the Study of Global Christianity, however, concludes that it is atheism that is in global decline, primarily due to increasing religiosity in China and post-communist Eastern Europe. The principal trend identified by the report is a return to religion in areas previously dominated by state atheism.

Social scientific assessments of the extent of atheism and irreligion face a number of problems. As large majorities of the world's populations claim some kind of belief in a monotheistic or polytheistic system – figures, for instance, for the United States (predominantly monotheistic) and India (predominantly polytheistic) usually exceed 80% – questions meant to assess non-belief, for example, tend to require the negation of prevailing beliefs rather than an expression of positive atheism. If "atheism" is then taken to mean no more than the Ancient Greek ἄθεος (atheos, meaning ""without theism") from which it was derived, a rise in "atheism" will then be recorded.

Atheistic schools of thought are known to have existed in India since the Vedic period (c. 1750–500 BCE). Western atheism has its roots in pre-Socratic philosophy, but did not emerge as a distinct world-view until the late Enlightenment.

G. E. Moore lead
George Edward "G. E." Moore OM, FBA (4 November 1873 – 24 October 1958) was an English philosopher, who, with Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein and their predecessor Gottlob Frege, was one of the founders of the analytic tradition in philosophy

George Edward "G. E." Moore OM, FBA (4 November 1873 – 24 October 1958) was an English philosopher and one of the founders of the analytic tradition in philosophy

With Russell, he led the turn away from idealism in British philosophy and became well-known for his advocacy of "common sense" concepts, his contributions to ethics, epistemology and metaphysics and "his exceptional personality and moral character".

At the University of Cambridge, where he later (1925–39) served as Professor of Philosophy, Moore was a member of the Moral Sciences Club and, from 1894, the secret "Cambridge Apostles" debating society. He also, although not a member himself, became highly influential among members of the Bloomsbury Group

He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1918, [served] as Editor of the prestigious philosophical journal Mind between 1921 and 1947 and was awarded the Order of Merit in 1951
