The streamgraph shown on this page represents the evolution of Kantian lexicon throughout his philosophical publications. A hundred of the most important words, of the Kant's philosophical doctrine, have been inserted in a tool that has mapped their recurrence in each of his works, going from 1747 to 1803. The result is an atlas of “Kant's legacy” (quoting the philosopher's words) where the thickness of the streams stands for the frequency of each term. Proceeding along the time line, some words are born while others die out (represented in light grey).
