Philo: a practice space for thinking clearly
Philo is a guided philosophical exercise app designed to help you slow down, ask better questions, and reason with care—especially in an era where AI can make answers feel instant and unquestionable.

Inside Philo
Structured prompts, not hot takes
1) Clarify the claim
Separate what is being asserted from what is implied—and name what you don’t know yet.
2) Test reasons
Look for assumptions, counterexamples, and alternative interpretations before you conclude.
3) Reflect + revise
Update your view, write a clearer version, and keep a record of your thinking over time.
Tip: Treat thinking like training—short sessions, repeated often.
How Philo supports critical thinking
Precision
Move from vague opinions to clear claims, definitions, and boundaries.
Reasoning
Practice evaluating evidence, spotting assumptions, and steelmanning opposing views.
Reflection
Build a personal archive of thought—what changed, why it changed, and what remains open.
For Otium Age members
Philo gives the community a shared practice: structured prompts that encourage charitable interpretation, careful disagreement, and intellectual humility. Use it to prepare for discussions, reflect after reading, or turn a strong reaction into a thoughtful inquiry.
Over time, members develop a stronger “critical thinking muscle”—and a calmer, more capable relationship with information.
