I would roughly generalize to "scientists". There is the need of people armed with both the tools of philosophy and science to discuss the meaning of many discoveries of the 20th/21st century: usually scientists are too narrowly focused and philosopher are not sufficiently well prepared. Nice to know that there are some exceptions (trusting you on this, I till have to go through the links).
My upcoming book, 1-Page-Classics gives examples of a kind of "reduced" Bayesianism in the form of a one-pager called "Traditional Claims" and another called "Modal Realism."
The book might also be interesting for virtue ethics, in the form of abbreviations of the famous scroll "The Mandate of Heaven," Confucius' "Analects or Analectus," and Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching."
I also abbreviate Epictetus' "Enchiridion" in a creative fashion, and "Republic of Plato" includes an excellent form of sophist criticism to that project (poetry, the ring of Giges, etc.).
