Dendrophobe:

Very cool idea, but I'm not a fan of the site itself. Maybe I'm missing something, but for each image I view, I have to scroll down to the list of images to select the next one. A sidebar with thumbnails would be a much nicer interface.

I'm not criticizing you for sharing this Veen, because it's definitely cool, but is anyone else a little uncomfortable with some of the designs? A pink triangle for hedonism? That kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The upside-down cross representing atheism seemed a bit out of place as well. I guess if you want to communicate a complicated idea with a single symbol, stereotypes go a long way. The artist managed to get away without it for most of the other concepts though.

And if anyone wants to learn more about the philosophical concepts covered in these designs, check out the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. It gets pretty in-depth.
