Here is one of the most interesting web sites I have seen in a long time -- a globally collaborative attempt to develop a multi-language encyclopedia. *Anyone* can contribute and edit content. I just did.

Have a look. What do you think?

I think they have a big philosophy section too, if I remember correctly.

Unfortunately, you can't really trust everything you read in it since anyone can add to it whether they have knowledge of the subject or not.

I'd trust it more than some textbooks and newspaper articles I've seen. Plus, it will get better as people with strong knowledge bases come to contribute. The parts that I have examined seem pretty decent so far.

Is the word "Levack" in there? I've heard it used a lot on rabble, and have no idea what it means.
