<p>This site, LogiLogi Manta, intends to make lucid philosophical and humanities-related discussions possible over the web. We want to bring together the virtues of the written and the spoken word. Core values are openness and quality of content. How to combine these seemingly contradictory notions ?</p> <p>The answer is social software modelled after Bruno Latour's philosophy of science. In short Manta is wiki + tagging + rating, where texts can by default not be edited by anyone, tags can be used in links, and rating occurs from the viewpoints of different peer-groups. Anyone can start a peer-group, and one's voting-power within a peer-group is determined by the ratings one's own writings received from the other members of the peer-group.</p> <p>Short documents - or what we call logis - can be reached through one or more tags (such as Logi_Logi or stacked together as: Logi_Logi/Manta), and multiple logis can be tagged with the same tags. If there are multiple contenders for a tag, their ratings decide which one is shown to the user. A user can select which peergroup to use as his filter, and thus which ratings decide which logi is shown to him.</p> <p>For a more extensive introduction to LogiLogi and it's relation to the Philosophical tradition, see <a href="http://www.logilogi.org/pub/humanities2008/paper.pdf">this short (1500-words) paper: English</a>, <a href="http://www.logilogi.org/pub/humanities2008/paper.fr.pdf">Français</a>.</p>
