History of Western Philosophy in Two Graphs

[ydoaPs]

These two graphs are pretty cool. The first goes from 600BCE to 600CE and the second from 600CE to about 1930CE. It's a taxonomy of sorts outlining the relations between different schools of philosophy throughout history.

 

I just thought it'd share something cool I found. Thoughts?

Great fun - needs a western in the blog title - although the ancient map seems to have it.

 

1. What no Homer and Hesiod? Difficult to navigate both the pre_soc and the soc without background of the epics

 

2. Had a quick flip down to the christian fathers and links with stoics (our seneca etc) - where are they?

 

Just the first few comments - I am not a fan of reading something like that on my laptop screen. But very cool - I would love to see it a la Randalll Munroe

While I am entirely apathetic to the history of philosophy and there do seem to be bits missing, I nevertheless found the graphics interesting.
