This template is used to provide biographical information on anyone who might be considered a philosopher. If the philosopher held or holds a political or other public office (e.g. [[Alan Greenspan]]), {{tl|Infobox officeholder}} is probably more suitable.

To use this template, copy the text above to the top of a biography article. Note that parameter names are lowercase.

===Parameters===
All parameters are optional, and if left blank will not appear in the infobox:
* '''era''' should be selected from [[:Category:Philosophy by period]]
* '''region''' should be selected from [[:Category:Philosophy by region]]
* '''school_tradition''' should be selected from [[:Category:Philosophical traditions]] or [[List of schools of philosophy]]
* {{shortcut|WP:INFLUENCES}} Entries in '''influences''', '''influenced''', and '''notable ideas''' should be explained in the main text of one of the articles. Those that are not mentioned in the main text may be deleted.
* For living people supply only the year for '''birth date''' unless the exact date is already WIDELY published, as per [[WP:DOB]]. Treat such cases as if only the year is known, so use {{tl|birth year and age}} or a similar option.

For usage of other parameters, see [[Template:Infobox person/doc]].

== Microformat ==
{{UF-hcard-person}}

== Embedding ==

{{infobox person
|birth_date=today
|name=Jane Doe
|module=
{{infobox philosopher
|embed=yes
|era= [[Contemporary philosophy]]
|region = [[Western philosophy]]
|school_tradition =[[Continental philosophy]]
|doctoral_advisor = [[Karl Jaspers]]
|main_interests = [[Political theory]]
|notable_ideas = ''[[Homo faber]]''|influences = [[Socrates]]|influenced = [[Seyla Benhabib]]
}}
}} End of Infobox person

Alternatively {{tl|infobox philosopher}} may be embedded within {{tl|infobox person}}, using |module in the latter, as shown here. This allows the use of more fields by drawing on both infoboxes. For an example, see [[Hannah Arendt]].

== Tracking categories ==
* {{clc|No local image but image on Wikidata}} – Used by [[Template:Wikidata image]] to track articles where an infobox has no image but [[Wikidata]] has an image name. To exclude articles from this category, add an image or {{para|nocat_wdimage|yes}} to the infobox.
* {{clc|Pages using infobox philosopher with unknown parameters}}
