Abstract

While the process of influence between various cultural andhistorical traditions in philosophy has been taking placefor thousands of years, this inter-cultural interaction isoccurring at a more accelerated pace in the information age.While philosophers throughout history have used visualrepresentations to understand philosophical influence andhistorical origins and the distribution of philosophical ideasand sub-disciplines, this paper stresses the importance ofphilosophical visualizations to represent the global interactivityof philosophy. It provides various visualizations torepresent global philosophical interaction, the penetration ofWestern philosophical ideas into non-Western philosophicaltraditions, and the appropriation of non-Western traditionsby Western philosophers. Such visualizations are importantin the contemporary age to promote regional philosophies,to understand philosophical influence and to understand thepromotion of a kind of pluralism which remains engagedwith the global world.
