Take a subject. Ask the same questions.

Things, studied
side by side.

Side Studies is a personal learning system for understanding a subject through structured comparison. Each Side takes a bounded set of comparable things, asks them the same questions, and makes the differences visible.

10 subjects×20 questions+sources

The numbers can change. The method does not: choose comparable things, interrogate them consistently, and preserve the reasoning behind the answers.

01

Philosophy

Ten life doctrines. Twenty shared questions about reality, self, desire, suffering, conduct and the good life.

The next Side begins when curiosity does.
