Philosophy seems have been slower in the adoption of digital methods for investigative purposes than other humanities. But the expanded view which digital methods allow does make sense when broad questions of intellectual structure and change, particularly in philosophy of science (Pence, Ramsay, 2018) or history of philosophy (Betti et al. 2019) are concerned.Assessments of disciplinary structures, which are commonly found in philosophical texts tend to focus on the personal and argumentative relations between small numbers of prominent actors, from which views about the disciplines as a whole are deduced.
