The Flow of Philosophy

Philosophy is not a linear progression but a web of interconnected questions. Consider how ideas flow between thinkers:

    A[Socrates<br/>Questioning] --> B[Plato<br/>Forms]
    A --> C[Aristotle<br/>Logic]
    B --> D[Aquinas<br/>Faith]
    B --> E[Descartes<br/>Doubt]
    C --> E
    C --> F[Bacon<br/>Empiricism]
    E --> G[Spinoza<br/>Reason]
    F --> G
    F --> H[Locke<br/>Experience]
    G --> I[Kant<br/>Critique]
    H --> I
    I --> J[Hegel<br/>Dialectic]
    I --> K[Nietzsche<br/>Will]
    J --> L[Modern<br/>Philosophy]
    K --> L
