5 Philosophy Substacks Worth Checking Out

1. Rags To Reason

"Rags to Reason" delves into existential themes, the interplay of art and ethics, and the relevance of classical philosophers like Aristotle and Sartre in modern contexts. The platform aims to make complex ideas accessible and thought-provoking, connecting them to real-life experiences and contemporary issues.


2. Mini Philosophy

"Mini Philosophy" explores philosophical ideas through brief reflections and discussions on topics like addiction, happiness, fantasy, and religious beliefs. The content typically includes a mix of thought-provoking articles and video essays that connect philosophy to everyday experiences and contemporary issues.


3. Daily Philosophy

The "Daily Philosophy" provides a wide breadth of articles on topics like ancient Greek thought, ethical debates like veganism, and philosophical reflections on science and society. The content is a mix of original writings by Dr. Andreas Matthias and guest contributions, aiming to make philosophical discussions accessible and relevant to everyday life.


4. Philosophy for the People

"Philosophy for the People" features a collection focused on political philosophy, socialism, Marxism, and critiques of contemporary thinkers and issues. It also has a really consistent, well-put-together 😎 look that I have been admiring. 👀


5. Why Philosophy

"Why Philosophy?" asks contemporary academic philosophers why philosophy matters, and the answers are as fascinating as they are diverse — its role in fostering attunement to others, emerging from darkness, providing democratic access to truth, and more. Each post delves into the individual motivations in practicing philosophy and impacts philosophy has on the contributors' lives.

I hope you enjoy these recommendations and show them some love!
