Start exploring philosophy with a question. philosophizenow lets you explore a chosen slice of the history of philosophy through narrative pages, short idea cards and linked sources, written to be read like a story and not like a textbook.
MEET AN IDEA TODAY
Follow the question of the day into a reading route, or begin with short idea cards. The question of the day favours routes you haven't read yet.
READ THINKERS, CONCEPTS AND WORKS
There are 137 thinkers, 16 concepts, 10 movements, 11 works and 1 period page. Each is a sectioned article with source links, and most thinkers have portraits. Justice, free will, time, power. Stoicism, the Enlightenment, phenomenology. The Republic, Leviathan, the Ethics. Start wherever you'd like.
OPEN THE IDEA THAT CATCHES YOU
Selected passages offer reading guides that explain 50 philosophical terms and some key ideas briefly. Explore the detail and source context when you want to.
GO AT YOUR OWN PACE
Mark the cards you have read, see your progress and pick up where you left off. When you finish a route, the next one is suggested.
SHARE AN IDEA
When an idea card is worth showing a friend, turn it into an image in post or story format and share it. The image carries the card's title, its short claim and its source.
READ IN TWO LANGUAGES
Read the interface, idea cards and all 175 full articles in English or Turkish. Choose System language, Türkçe or English in Notebook > Dil / Language.
MOVE AMONG IDEAS
Explore questions in the Atlas. Meet thinkers in their periods in History. Select words or sentences in an article to highlight them. In the Notebook, find your highlights, saved items, your own answers and follows, and write your own notes. Adjust the text size and read in light or dark mode.
REMINDERS ARE YOURS
Following a thinker adds them to your Notebook. You can turn on a daily idea reminder separately and you'll choose its time.
This content covers a selection from the history of philosophy. It is not a complete map of every tradition. Differing interpretations and sources are noted on the pages concerned.
No account is needed. Your personal notes and written answers stay on your device. Where you stopped in an article, your thread progress, bookmarks and follows sync with your own iCloud account if it is enabled. Completion progress in idea series is stored on this device. You can turn sync off in the Notebook and delete the cloud data.
