# About dataset

[The Philosophy Data Project](https://philosophydata.com/index.html) is a corpus and a set of anaylsis based philosophy texts, totaling over 50 texts and 30 authors, made by Kourosh Alizadeh.

- `school`: Broad categorization of which school of thought each book belongs to. Sometimes, this classification can be vague or depend on interpretation. Thankfully, texts in this corpus are all distinctive examples of respective school of thought, so at leat here they are reasonable.
- `sentence_spacy` and `sentence_str`: Actual sentences from the texts. Note that some sentences are omitted due to its short length, etc. Refer to the next section for details. 

Other items are straightforward.
