Template:Infobox philosopher/doc

This template is used to provide biographical information on anyone who might be considered a philosopher. If the philosopher held or holds a political or other public office (e.g. Alan Greenspan), Infobox officeholder is probably more suitable.

Usage


To use this template, copy the text above to the top of a biography article. Note that parameter names are lowercase.

Parameters
All parameters are optional, and if left blank will not appear in the infobox:
 * era should be selected from Category:Philosophy by period
 * region should be selected from Category:Philosophy by region
 * school_tradition should be selected from Category:Philosophical traditions or List of schools of philosophy
 * Entries in influences, influenced, and notable ideas should be explained in the main text of one of the articles. Those that are not mentioned in the main text may be deleted.
