Philosophers use of modifiers
license: mit

Bar chart of the percentage of modifiers (adverbs and adjectives) in the major works of some selected Philosophers. The texts are taken from Project Gutenbergs<a href=https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj8hrDn1ZvYAhVCJVAKHdgNByEQFggnMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gutenberg.org%2Fwiki%2FPhilosophy_(Bookshelf)&usg=AOvVaw3r3z4Gtp19oABZwLWQCsXD> Philosophy-Page. As most of the texts are translations, it is pretty clear, that the worth of this exercise is limited. But it is still neat that my hypothesis of Nietzsche using the most modifiers seems to show.
