Peer Review Question
[edit]Hi, you informed me that you've completed a peer review for the article that I am editing, but I can't seem to find it. Where exactly did you leave the review? Preciousg11 (talk) 17:19, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
Peer Review
[edit]Hello. Sorry we had some miscommunication and a delay in this process but I hope neither of us was set back too far. I find the topic you chose a really fascinating area of philosophy.
So you edits were overall a really great addition to the original page. I think it would be beneficial however to remove some of the colorful languages that distract from the content of the text. For example “Epicureans shunned politics” - I think it would be better to say they refused to participate and why. I see you say because politics “could lead to frustrations and ambitions” but why. How does politics lead to that misfortune for Epicureans? I also think in terms of peace of mind and virtues, you could explain a bit more on what you mean and how virtues play a role for Epicureans ( is it similar to Aristotle’s “virtue ethics”?} Another thing to consider is that while looking over the page in general, the philosophy of what Epicureans believe is a little far down the page. I realize that the table of contents has a link to bring you right to it but I still think that since that is the goal of the page to tell you who these people were and what they believed, a lot of time is spent on history but much less so on the philosophy. Great start and I look forward to reading more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScottsdalePrincess (talk • contribs) 19:31, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
