How to read this chart
- Boxes are positions — a person, a book, a year, and the move that book makes.
- Arrows are the pressure between them: what refutes what, what concedes to
what, what hardens in response to what.
- Tap any box for the full card: the problem it faces, the move it makes, and
the new problem that move opens.
- Colors mark the family a position belongs to. See the legend up top.
Fair warning
The notes in these cards are highly opinionated, and kept visually separate
from the summaries so you can ignore me and read each position on its own terms. I'm
not a historian of doctrine; these summaries compress a great deal, and the dates are
publication dates rather than the dates ideas actually moved.
