![The Splintered Mind: The Rise of Ethics and Feminism
What I am interested in here is not so much the absolute numbers [of the ‘total rate of philosophical publications since the 1940s, with keyword searches related to subfield’], though, as the relative numbers. And not even the relative numbers per se, which may be somewhat misleading (since not all and only epistemology articles contain epistem* as a keyword, and the keyword false negatives and positives may differ by subfield), but rather the changes over time in relative numbers. In the chart above, for example, you will see that in the 1990s ethics (EMP: ethics, moral, political) crossing lemmings (language, epistemology, metaphysics, and mind). Assuming relatively constant false negatives and positives over time within each subfield, the crossover suggests that ethics has been growing faster than has language, epistemology, metaphysics, and mind.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l2dtagJy3O1qz5yk0o1_400.jpg)
