The Path: History of Western Philosophy

Living map Last updated September 28, 2026 323 philosophers · 100 schools · 1177 ideas and texts

A map of Western philosophy that I keep adding to, running from era to sub-era, school, philosopher, and finally the ideas and texts each thinker is known for. Colors show each tradition's stance toward religion and culture.

Full Diagram is the actual draw.io map -- drag (or scroll) to pan, use the +/- buttons to zoom. Browse & Search is a lighter expand/collapse tree, best for jumping straight to a name.
