I Came To See The Need For Comparison Of Author Ideas Back In ~ 1990.
…In my book reading I had discovered the writings of Michael Polanyi, Robert Pirsig, and Owen Barfield, (MpRpOb). To me these are VERY important authors with quite revolutionary thinking and discoveries! To my thinking, what they reveal to us is earth shaking in their new intellectual destinations! Eventually, I began to realize there were strong points of agreement & strong parallels between these authors.

Since it’s nearly a rule that authors of this degree of novelty are basically ignored, and this is what has happened to MpRpOb and others. … Consequently, I came to feel that it was my duty to show clearly how these authors support each other’s conclusions, and from this try to get the literary world to pay attention to them, or at least open their eyes!

So it was that this Xmind Effort became an important project of mine back in ~2009: Since that time I have devoted some 100 hours of effort (off & on) spread over a period of 3 years, to bring this xMind Matrix Chart Table to its present form.

HOWEVER, much to my dismay, THESE AUTHOR COMPARISONS DON'T WORK. Well, at least not as well as I had originally intended. As I scrolled around in the different columns (IDEAS) or rows (AUTHORS) I discovered that it’s nearly impossible to perceive any of these above-mentioned the similarities in the various authors’ writings. From this, I realize that the same will happen to anyone who looks at my xMind Matrix Chart Table, even if they study with great effort and mental concentration.

NOW: WHY DOESN'T THIS AUTHOR IDEA COMPARISON MATRIX WORK, AS I INTENDED / HOPED?

I don't really know, and thus I am VERY open to your suggestions.

The only thing I can point to as inadequate is the particular choice of 'Named Ideas', at the top of each column:: These in essence are really 'Column Titles', or a better term would be 'Analytical File Categories'. Perhaps I should have used quite different ‘Analytical File Categories', but right now I can’t think of any better.

In retrospect these 'Named Ideas', at the top of each column, now seem over arbitrary and I’ve never been happy with. And besides, these existing Column Titles ('Named Ideas'), work well enough that I realize that these Titles are basically not the cause of => “The nearly impossible to perceive any of these above-mentioned the similarities in the various authors’ writings”, which of course is really the important problem to focus on.

Anyway, as you can see, I haven't given up on this 'Chart Table of Author Comparisons'. If you have ideas or contributions, please contact me. =>
