"This manifesto will facilitate your philosophical examination as you iron out what you believe and why you believe it. We do this by providing a philosophical toolkit, as well as a framework for considering the principal areas of philosophy. Ancient Greek philosophers had a concept they called 'arete'. It is often translated as 'excellence' or 'virtue', but Brian Johnson of ThinkArete says it's better defined as 'constantly striving to reach your highest potential.' This manifesto will bring you closer to arete."
