Philosophy of Science -- or Philosophy of science

Following CZ convention, shouldn't "science" in the title be lower-capped? Hayford Peirce 18:56, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, we've got Philosophy of Religion (capital R) and Philosophy of language (lower-case L). I don't really know. --Tom Morris 22:14, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I see that. But *you* created the Religion one, so that doesn't really count. I'm pretty sure that it should be lower-cased. There was an argument about this before you joined CZ, I think, and it was decided that the lower-case form was the standard one. Hayford Peirce 22:56, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I think I may have created the language one also, but it's only based on the links on CZ:Philosophy Workgroup. --Tom Morris 23:52, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Naw, someone named Thomas Ash created it -- unless that's you under a nom de Wiki.... Hayford Peirce 01:14, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I would have to investigate what we have about this in our naming conventions, if anything--probably nothing. This came up a long time ago in connection with medical subdisciplines. I think what we said was that if the field is consistently described with upper case, then upper case the article title; otherwise, lower case. There is something about this in the Chicago Manual of Style, I think. Basically, if you upper case a discipline, you are referring to the discipline as if it were a monolithic institution, like the Church or the State. If you are describing the content of the discipline and not the associations, personalities, departments, and so forth, in the field, then you use lower case. So I think we should use lower case for these articles. --Larry Sanger 04:22, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

That was my impression of whatever the discussion was. Hayford Peirce 14:40, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
