Visualizations of Philosophical Texts

A new class of software is now available that allows for the visualization of the frequency and/or correlation and clustering of words and concepts in texts. This page is dedicated to making some of these available for the purpose of philosophical research. So far it contains some visualizations of texts by Hegel.
