A family tree redrawn as clusters. 124 thinkers from 15 countries sit with their country on the outside, each one linked to the school of thought it belongs to, showing which traditions a country dominated. Select a name or a dot to read a thinker. Tap a cluster to open it and list its thinkers below by country, then tap a dot or a name to read one. Tap the ring again to see every school, or swipe left or right to step through the schools.

Within each circle, dots spiral out from the earliest to the latest born thinker.
