Choosing Your Path

How the Library Tools Work Together

The FEQQE Philosophy & Ethics Library holds 94 works, and the four categories are unevenly weighted: 64 titles sit in Ethics, while Logic, Metaphysics, and Political Philosophy each hold 10. That imbalance means you will often start with a category and still face a crowded shelf. The Book Finder, Compare Books, and Reading Tracker are designed to be used in sequence, not as isolated utilities.

Suppose you are drawn to a specific title, such as The Ethics of Medical Homicide and Mutilation — Text and Context (id 273). The Finder can confirm that it sits in Ethics, with a word count near 102,665 and an average sentence length of 21.4 words. But to see how it compares with other medical-ethics texts, you would move to Compare Books; to plan a realistic reading schedule, you would open the Tracker. Each tool answers a different question.

Start with the Finder

The Book Finder narrows the catalog by criteria that matter to you: category, length, estimated reading time, chapter rhythm, sentence flow, and subject. Because the catalog is small enough to scan, the Finder is most useful when you combine two or three filters. For instance, filtering by Ethics and a medium length will return a manageable set that still includes varied sentence styles, from the dense prose of Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals to the more accessible Some religious and moral teachings of Al-Ghazzali.

The Finder also lets you indicate a preference for popular or hidden-gem titles. That is a useful signal if you want to avoid the most frequently downloaded works, but it does not affect the underlying criteria. No-preference choices simply leave the full set intact.

Refine with Compare and Plan with the Tracker

Once you have two or three candidates, Compare Books puts them side by side. You can see word counts, estimated reading times, text sections, sentence flow, chapter rhythm, and subjects. This is where a difference like 34,085 words versus 102,665 words becomes concrete: the former might be a weekend read, the latter a two-week commitment. The comparison is descriptive, not a judgment of quality.

The Reading Tracker then turns a chosen book into a plan. It records progress in pages, not minutes or sections, so you set a daily page goal and see how many days remain. For a book like The Ethics of Medical Homicide and Mutilation, with roughly 102,665 words, the initial page estimate would be around 411 pages (at 250 words per page). At a goal of 20 pages per day, that is about 21 days. The Tracker lets you adjust the total page count if your edition differs, and it stores your history in the browser without requiring an account.
