In the 1990s I constructed several huge network diagrams of philosophers, mapping the history of philosophy from the pre-Socratics to the present. My diagrams looked a bit different from the diagram here, in a few respects: first, it included many more philosophers; second, it didn't add data by making some nodes bigger (it let the links speak for themselves); and third, philosophers were placed on the graph according to time and location, so you could see a 'flow' of ideas through history.
