Influenced By

Influenced by names the earlier thinkers whose work shaped a philosopher's own ideas. Wikipedia notes Kant "builds on the work of empiricist philosophers such as John Locke and David Hume, as well as rationalist philosophers such as Rene Descartes, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Christian Wolff," drawing on both rival traditions at once. This dimension traces the intellectual lineage running into a given philosopher's work.
