Book by Book
The Great Library of Alexandria stands as a beacon. It represents the wisdom of the ages, shaped by everyone who believes in its promise.
Book by book, author by author, topic by topic.
This week, we want to celebrate how the feedback from our community continues to help us build not just what you see, but the foundations that make it possible.
Together, we're shaping, as one community member beautifully put it, "every atom of the library."
We've been working diligently to expand the collection: adding more books, more voices, and more pathways to wisdom.
From Shelley's romantic poetry to Hayek's economic theory, from ancient Sufi mysticism to modern feminist literature, we're expanding across every tradition.
"In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you."
— Mortimer Adler
Together, we're proving that the classics don't have to remain distant. They can be living, breathing conversations that transform how we think and how we live.
Book by Book
We’ve been diligently working to bring the entirety of the classics to the library. We’re pleased to share that we’ve added hundreds of new titles, with more to come each week. Each book represents another pathway to wisdom, another voice in the conversation between past and present, and another opportunity to find what speaks to you. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Please reach out and we’ll prioritize it.
Second Voice
As part of our mission to make the classics more accessible, relevant and meaningful, we run a newsletter called Second Voice. We write at the intersection of AI, Philosophy, and the Future of Learning, and highlight how timeless insights can illuminate our modern world. We also publish the work of thinkers and builders, many of whom are members of this community, who bring strong points of view, expressed with humility and nuance, and backed by compelling examples. We believe the classics inform our present and shape our future.
Community Reads
We've always believed great books spark even greater conversations when shared with others. We're excited to introduce 'Community Reads'—a weekly spotlight on what's resonating with readers right now. This week: we feature The Analects by Confucius. We want to ask: Would you be interested in having books in their original language?
