Philosophers use of modifiers
A horizontal bar chart shows the percentage of modifiers (adjectives and adverbs) in selected works of eight philosophers, revealing that Nietzsche uses the highest proportion. The chart is built with D3 v3, using `d3.scale.linear`, `d3.scale.ordinal`, `d3.svg.axis`, and `d3.xhr` to parse a CSV file. Data comes from Project Gutenberg’s Philosophy bookshelf, and the bars change color on mouseover.

As most of the texts are translations, it is pretty clear, that the worth of this exercise is limited. But it is still neat that my hypothesis of Nietzsche using the most modifiers seems to show.
