philosophy
11 curated learning paths about philosophy. Each path delivers daily 5-minute drops to build real knowledge over time.
🏛️Learn Stoicism Basics
Meet classical Stoicism through Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius — the three disciplines, four virtues, and the logos — then write your own nightly meditation on a worry you actually carry.
🏛️Understand Plato's Allegory of the Cave
Unpack Plato's cave allegory layer by layer — from shadows and prisoners to the sun and the theory of Forms — then write your own allegory for a belief you had to unlearn.
🚢Understand the Ship of Theseus
Explore the oldest identity puzzle in philosophy. Learn why replacing every plank of a ship — or every cell in your body — forces you to rethink what 'same' actually means.
⚖️Understand the Trolley Problem
Walk through every major trolley problem variant and the ethical theory each one stress-tests, then design your own dilemma that isolates a single moral factor.
🧠Learn Common Logical Fallacies
Learn fourteen of the most common logical fallacies with real examples from news, ads, and online debates — then prove you can reason fairly by writing one airtight paragraph arguing for a position you personally reject.
🏛️Learn the Stoic Dichotomy of Control
Turn Epictetus's famous maxim into a daily sorting reflex — worries in, journal out — until you have your own control template you'll actually open on a bad Tuesday.
🏛️Use the Socratic Method to Think and Question Rigorously
Meet Socrates through Plato's early dialogues, walk the elenchus on justice, courage, and piety, then run your own Socratic dialogue against a belief you actually hold.
☸️Learn the Four Noble Truths
Walk through the Four Noble Truths as a philosophical diagnosis — dukkha, its cause, its cessation, the eightfold path — with translation notes and comparative context, then apply the structure to a real problem of your own.
🏛️Learn Kant's Categorical Imperative
Turn Kant's densest idea into a tool you actually use. By the end, you'll write a maxim for a real decision, run it through the universalizability test, and journal what it reveals.
🏛️Learn the Enlightenment and Its Key Thinkers
Trace the Enlightenment as a live argument between Locke, Hume, Rousseau, Voltaire, and Kant, then take your own side in a 300-word position paper grounded in their rival claims.
⚖️Learn Utilitarianism Basics
Walk through utilitarianism from Bentham's calculus to Mill's rebuttal to rule utilitarianism, then use the framework to evaluate a real policy decision in writing.
