I suppose making minor edits will make me feel as if I've made a positive difference.
I further suppose having a user page will make me confident that these edits are real.
I must therefore conclude that, if I am to be confident about the reality of the positive difference I make through minor edits, I must have a user page reflecting this. QED.
Shock and surprise, I have a BSc in Mathematics & Philosophy. I'm also currently training to be a civil engineer. These broadly cover my primary interests, but I have secondary interests in biology, geopolitics, and generally tidying up Wikipedia (I've been surprised as to how enjoyable copyediting can be).
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.

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.
Perception Needs the attention of philosophically minded Wikipedians. This is only the start of an overhaul of perception and related articles.
