Juan R. Loaiza<p>Four years ago, me and my good friend Miguel González Duque thought we should teach Python to colleagues in the humanities. This quickly led to the academic "let's start a band": we should (first) do some project together and write a paper using text mining and NLP tools. Like so many bands, after many jams and missed band practices, our EP is finally out. We are excited to share our preprint, ready for reviewing and discussing. We are very proud of the result and hope it makes a good contribution to empirical approaches to philosophy using NLP and similar technologies. Also, even though we focused on philosophy in Colombia, we wrote the paper in English, partly because we wanted to take the opportunity to share more of Colombian academic philosophy with the world.
