| Sophie's World / Jostein Gaarder : 4 of 5 | |

 I took a nice leisurely pace reading this novel, just to enjoy every word of the story, while learning so much making my way to the end of the book. Sophie's World is a fantastic "children's book" (if you can call it that) about a little girl and her mysterious philosophy teacher. Through the course of the plot, all of the philosophy lessons are presented in their entirety - often with more detail than my recent ACC course! The book is fantastic because the backstory keeps things moving along without getting stale, and the lessons are full of great of examples, since they're primarily aimed at children (although they are so in depth I can't imagine anyone younger that 15 reading them). If you're looking for a way to make philosophy "exciting", this is the way to do it (I was even recommended this book by a professor who told me, "It's the only book you need to read")!Labels: books |
