I would like a world map of philosophy publications - both articles from journals and works throughout the ages.

Instead of mapping by citation I would like this world map to have its geographic boundaries demarcated by topic (I think).

You see, philosophers don't even agree what constitutes the sub-disciplines of their discipline so I figure we could find out empirically by mapping.

Of course this presupposes that we can identify papers and works as firmly philosophical in the first place when there are bound to be edge-cases.

I realise that my idea may be a bit fuzzy but I accept that it is a proto-idea, not you fully formed. Thoughts?
