Philosophical Texts Corpus with School of Thought Classification

Over 50 texts from 30 authors form a curated corpus of philosophical writing. The collection includes a 'school' column categorizing each text into a distinct school of thought. Created by Kourosh Alizadeh and hosted by yjkim27, it was last updated in December 2023.

Use Cases

• Classify text 'school' using linguistic features from the 'sentence_spacy' or 'sentence_str' fields.
• Analyze writing style and vocabulary differences between philosophical schools using the full text corpus.
• Train a language model on domain-specific philosophical texts from the 30 included authors.
• Investigate the relationship between sentence structure (via 'sentence_spacy') and assigned philosophical school.

Strengths

• Corpus contains over 50 distinct philosophical texts.
• Includes works from 30 different authors.
• Features a 'school' column with curated, distinctive classifications for each text.

Limitations

• Exact row count and total text volume are unknown.
