This article was nominated for merging with Original position on 4 October 2020. The result of the discussion ([U_R_L permanent link]) was Consensus. |
I came across this page in a random search. It contains a bad grammatical error (second para), but I don't know enough about the subject to be sure of the appropriate correction. JackofOz 02:24, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Isn't this article redundant with Original position? If there are no objections I am going to merge this into the other article. -- Malathion 5 July 2005 02:10 (UTC)
How come the Hebrew version of this entry does not appear on the sidebar of other Languages? I don't know how to change this. See the link, including the sidebar that leads to this entry, and its German equivalent:

Veil of ignorance (philosophy) → Veil of ignorance — I suggest that this is the primary topic and that the later music album is strictly secondary. Further, as there are only 2 topics, a disambiguation page is unnecessary. Cybercobra (talk) 07:06, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
71.192.133.139 ( talk) 02:15, 13 November 2015 (UTC)== SF story reference unnecessary ==
The reference to an SF story about the concept at the end seems pointless and possibly an exercise in self-promotion to me, given that neither the author nor the story referenced are in any way particularly note-worthy. IMO it should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.108.180.242 ( talk) 16:54, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Seconding removal of story. Zelightbrigade ( talk) 19:54, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
The story made it back, despite being perhaps the worst of the examples people keep piling on this article. This isn't TV Tropes. 71.192.133.139 ( talk) 02:15, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
For when a 'veil of ignorance' has been used as a plot device? One example springs to mind- the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary film ( /info/en/?search=The_Day_of_the_Doctor). This sentence in the plot section outlines the relevant part "They exit the painting in the present in the Black Archive and use the archive's mind-wiping equipment to render the UNIT members and Zygons temporarily unaware which of them are which. The countdown is stopped and all present negotiate a perfectly fair peace treaty, as they no longer know which way to skew it."
Another example would be the SF story referenced previously in this talk page.
Thoughts?
There is bias in the polygamy subsection. A single author's position is stated but there is no commentary, no explanation, no context. What is a reader to do, just accept the author's statements as a correct application and conclusion from behind the veil of ignorance? 161.31.0.30 ( talk) 20:48, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
The structure of this page seems contorted in order to not give Rawls primacy in coming up with "veil of ignorance". As a result the first sentence is an empty sentence, followed by a vague sentence and eventually getting to the idea of a social contract. While I have no doubt that all of the philosophers mentioned talked about "issues" and "morality" I have serious doubt they get credit for "veil of ignorance". My quick scan of the sources on this page shows zero evidence that they came up with the idea that is the title of this page. So unless I'm wrong, some of this page should be merged with social contract and some of it should be merged with original position. I'm not sure which title should remain the main page OP or VoI. I'd appreciate some help in figuring this out. DolyaIskrina ( talk) 23:59, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
