I came across a diagram that shows the patterns of references to various philosophers in publications from 1950 to the present: https://homepage.univie.ac.at/noichlm94/img/struct_phil_iii/full_struct.pdf
See below for a description of how that diagram was derived. Most of the references are to philosophers active during the past half century. But Plato, Aristotle, and Aquinas are still popular. So are Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, and Frege, There are also groups classified under "Reactions to X", where X is Kant, Spinoza, Descartes, Hume, Locke, Moore, Lewis, Popper, Quine. Susan Haack appears in the group of reactions to Quine, but there is no group for reactions to Peirce. Prior appears in the group for non-classical logics. He cited Peirce in many publications, but Peirce did not make the cut. Peirce has an enormous amount to contribute to modern philosophy, but most philosophers are clueless. Somebody has to clue them in. John PS: I doubt that papers about semes, phemes, and delomes will get enough citations to make the cut. _______________________________________________________________________ For this map, I parsed 55327 papers in philosophy from the Web Of Science Collection. The papers were determined by snowball-sampling: I started with a small sample (a few thousand papers), and extended from there by repeatedly looking at the most cited publications. For each paper I determined the works and authors it cited. Each of these features of the papers is a dimension in the dataset, which I then embedded into two dimensions, using Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection, a dimension reduction algorithm by McInnes & Healy (2018). These two dimensions form the basis of the scatterplot you see above. Note that the position of a point on the x- or y-axis is meaningless: only the relation of the points to each other can be interpreted. The reduced data was then clustered with the hdbscan algorithm into 42 clusters.
