I would love to have an ideas and people genealogy where you can select a thinker like Rousseau and have a graph of the main ideas in his works and their predecessors.
Think about his amour de soi. Did it existed previously anywhere else? Who talked about something similar earlier?
I'd die for something like that.
- johndbeatty 4y agoI wanted something like this as well, and I have a prototype of something much simpler (using node2vec to generate embeddings using data from Wikidata and DBpedia (and Twitter)). It doesn't really do what you want, but you might find it interesting.
