Major POV Problems[edit]

This article is unnecessarily (and I might add sycophantically) laudatory. For example:

After this he taught at the University of Texas (Dallas), and became a Professor at the University of Mississippi, where he was Chair of the Philosophy Department, and widely considered the best teacher, philosopher and human being at that university.

There is no pretense of objectivity in these words. I request that they be removed immediately.
