    I'm studying for one of my exams of philosophy this very instant. I'm a student of philosophy and the course I'm studying right now is an overview of the whole of the western philosophy. You can imagine, how helpfull this timeline has been for me already, and will be in the future!

    With which program did you make it? Could I get the source-file so I that I can complete it? That would be AWESOME!
