From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canadian National Railway train
The Canadian National Railway (CN) is a Canadian Class I freight railway headquartered in Montreal, which serves Canada and the Midwestern and Southern United States. It is Canada's largest railway, in terms of both revenue and the physical size of its rail network, spanning the country from the Atlantic coast in Nova Scotia to the Pacific coast in British Columbia across approximately 20,000 route miles (32,000 kilometres) of track. In the late 20th century, CN gained extensive capacity in the United States by taking over railroads such as the Illinois Central and others.

Hi! I am Varadarajan, a native of Cochin, in the state of Kerala. Currently I am a research scholar at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India.

I was introduced to this Borgesian world of Wikipedia by my friend Amar V Chandra. I am deeply indebted to him for this.

Here, I have mostly been doing minor corrections and editing. Apart from this, I have started a few entries on lesser known writers on philosophy and literature. In the case of the already well written articles on philosophers I mainly add to the bibliography. Hope to do a lot more in the coming days.

Some of the entries I started here:

Geuss

Amitav Ghosh

Frederick C. Beiser

Frederick Neuhouser

Alexander Nehamas

Edmund White

Anthony Grafton

Enchi Fumiko

Commodore Books

Paul Guyer

Some of the entries I plan to work on in the coming days:

Stuart Hampshire

Charles Taylor

Alasdair MacIntyre

Gilbert Harman

Thomas Nagel

Hoshang Merchant
