Φ · The influence network

One map of the whole conversation.

Every philosopher in the catalogue is a point on this map, set on a timeline and grouped by tradition. Every line is a real influence — drawn straight from the “influenced by” and “influenced” links on each page. Follow a thread and you can watch an idea pass from Athens to Baghdad to Paris, and from the Buddha to the philosophy of mind.
