Optimism should have a separate page that focuses on the philosophical idea of optimism and distinguishes the philosophical view from "positive thinking" and other everyday uses of the word.
Philosophy of social science, has some okay points but requires elaboration on Wittgenstein and Winch, perhaps other linguistic critiques, whether logical positivist or postmodernist.
Exchange value needs to be redone, it shouldn't be under 'Marxist theory'- although it's an important component of Marxist theory it's also vital for all economics. That said the article's weight on Marx is also absurd.
Socratic dialogues could do with some tidying and clarification. See the talk page for one suggested change.
Problem of universals: The introductory definition is (perhaps) fixed. But, the article is poor. Check out the German version.
Teleology: the article is shallow and inconsistent.
Existentialism: the quality of this article varies wildly and is in desperate need of expert attention.
Analytic philosophy This is a very major topic, but still has several sections which are stubs, and several topics which are not covered.
Lifeworld A philosophical concept that seems to have fallen exclusively into the hands of the sociologists. Could use some attention; it's a major and complex issue in phenomenology.

I am an undergraduate at Bard College (BA in Philosophy and Psychology expected Fall 2007). My primary interests in philosophy right now are in the philosophy of language, philosophy of psychology, philosophy of mind, and logical empiricism. I am also interested in metaethics, "construction theory", stoicism, cognitive psychology, and logic. My favorite philosopher is probably Rudolf Carnap; Quine, Hempel, Austin, Ryle, Herbert Feigl, and Dennett rank up there somewhere.
As of 3/12/07, I have written the not-so-good article on abstract objects and organized related articles. I have also made a number of contributions to the Logical positivism article.
