Within the discipline of philosophy, ideas cannot remain in a textual setting if they are to be truly effective. Examining and presenting concepts by use of visualization techniques are both not only possible but also necessary. This paper aims at representing philosophical writings in engineering-type schemata that use examples from Hume and Kant, and these can be regarded as a translation from text to drawings. The claim here is that, for computer scientists and engineers, such an effort is worth pursuing, especially since such schemata give them a familiar tool for facilitating understanding of philosophical works. The proposed diagrammatic language is introduced through examples taken from the two philosophers. Hume’s and Kant’s standing on philosophical issues is crucial for a proper understanding of modern philosophy in general. Their approaches to the theory of knowledge are first diagrammed, then Kant’s and Hume’s stands on the specific problem of Causality are introduced through examples. The resultant diagrammatic description seems to contribute to understanding of these philosophers’ thoughts.
