Overall:

Excellent work on this article. It's always great to see vital articles such as this one being brought to GA. Both hooks are interesting, although I think the ALT0 fact about recent research into it is what grabs me more (philosophers debating concepts isn't particularly novel). I'm not seeing any issues with the article. The only comment I'd give on the hooks is that "consists in" should probably say "consists of". Grnrchst (talk) 14:12, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
