Daily Geist is a tool for learning the works of German philosophers. Each day you get one short passage from the original text, a translation in English, Traditional Chinese or Korean, a 60-second explanation, and one way to use the idea that day.
Today's bite · Enlightenment
„Sapere aude! Habe Muth dich deines eigenen Verstandes zu bedienen! ist also der Wahlspruch der Aufklärung.“
Immanuel Kant, Was ist Aufklärung?, Berlinische Monatsschrift, December 1784, p. 481
“Sapere aude! Have the courage to use your own understanding! is therefore the motto of the Enlightenment.”
At launch: German Idealism (Kant, Hegel), Existentialism (Nietzsche, Schopenhauer) and the Enlightenment (Kant's “Was ist Aufklärung?”, Lichtenberg). New schools arrive every one to two weeks: Hermeneutics, Phenomenology, Romanticism, Critique and Society, the Frankfurt School.
Every bite names its source: the work, the year of the first edition and the page. Each thinker comes with a hand-drawn line portrait, and each idea with a small drawing that explains it.
No account, no ads, no tracking, no feed to scroll. The app works offline and keeps everything on your phone. One optional daily reminder, at 8:00.
