The whole Great Books education, in one app

Read and understand the Great Books

The books·The notebook·The seminar

Experience the classics like never before. GreatLogos is the Great Books education in one app: the library, a notebook that weaves your own thinking into the text, and a patient tutor that helps you discover the ideas that built our civilization.

Free to start. Private beta on web and iPhone & iPad.

From the library

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice

λ
Ask the tutor
Whose truth is this, really? The neighborhood's, or the narrator's?

Borrowed from the tradition itself

The library, the notebook, the seminar

The Great Books tradition has always had three parts. No AI chat tab has any of them: it isn't inside the book, hasn't read your annotations, and won't run a focused seminar to help you arrive at the big ideas.

i.

The books

The complete Great Books collection.

  • 170+ works, from Homer to Einstein
  • Curated reading plans for more focused exploration
  • Search across the whole library; footnotes a tap away
  • Pick up where you left off across devices
ii.

The notebook

Your thinking, inside the book.

  • Highlight, annotate, and make margin notes
  • Link notes to each other and to the Great Ideas across works
  • Explore how your notes and the Great Ideas relate in a visual map
  • A private library stamped with your own understanding
iii.

The seminar

A tutor that follows your journey.

  • A Reading Companion on every page
  • A Seminar Guide for deep, sustained sessions
  • It knows the page you're on and has read your notes
  • It asks instead of answers, so you discover the ideas yourself for deep and lasting understanding

Built the opposite way

Most AI is built to give you the answer. Ours is built to make you think

Arche, the origin: the great works. Intelligence, the guide: an AI built to deepen understanding, never to replace it. The newest intelligence, in service of the oldest kind of learning, the kind you do yourself.

You ask the tutor

Just tell me what Socrates means by the examined life.
λ
Let's find it together. He's about to be sentenced to death and says he'd still rather keep questioning. What must he value more than staying alive? Read the next line and tell me.
