Micro vs philosophizenow

Learning on autopilot. Enjoy but not endure it. Lifelong learning and especially continuous training is becoming increasingly important in a world of constant renovation and change. This app approaches the learning problem from a special angle backed by cognitive science: individual learning process management. • Bite-sized learning: “knowledge nuggets” are easier to grasp and memorize. It’s known antidote to the infamous problem of “shorten attention span”. • Autopilot mode: the app manages the whole learning process using spaced repetitions, makes it easy and enjoyable. • Course store: high quality courses specially made for micro-learning. It’s also opened to all instructional designers. The Micro-Learning App is a part of project “Mind Extension – Integrating Human Brains with Smart Devices”.

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. When the routes run out, thinkers' own questions follow, and on Sundays an earlier question comes back a second time. READ THINKERS, CONCEPTS AND WORKS There are 151 thinkers, 23 concepts, 15 movements, 19 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 Critique of Pure Reason. Start wherever you'd like. OPEN THE IDEA THAT CATCHES YOU Selected passages offer reading guides that explain more than 100 philosophical terms and some key ideas briefly. Explore the detail and source context when you want to. BOOK OF THE MONTH In the Read tab, one classic a month, one passage a day: seven books, from Marcus Aurelius' Meditations to the Analects of Confucius. If you don't want to wait, open the next passage right away. Turn a sentence you love into an image and share it. 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 209 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, gather your highlights month by month, find your saved items and follows, and search your 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. If you like, a sentence you underlined a while ago can come back to you too. 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.
