Diagrammatic Philosophy

Here I use Ti𝑘Z to replicate various diagrams in philosophy. See also: Lacanian mathemes.
Anyone using LaTeX can copy & paste this code into their papers to display the diagrams.
For an introduction to Ti𝑘Z, see here and here. To install LaTeX, try here and here.

I have separate repositories for economics, psychoanalysis, computer science, and artistic diagrams.
