Sophie's World

by Paulette Møller, Jostein Gaarder
$8.26
Sophie's World
Sophie's World

Philosophical journey through history's greatest minds.

"Sophie's World" is like taking a leisurely stroll through a vast museum of philosophy, with Sophie as your inquisitive guide. It's a book that not only educates you on the history of philosophical thought but wraps it in a mysterious, almost fantastical narrative that keeps you turning the pages. It's an engaging blend of fiction and a beginner's guide to thinking deeply about life's big questions, perfect for anyone looking to dip their toes into philosophy without getting lost in academic jargon.

Description

One day Sophie comes home from school to find two questions in her mail: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" Before she knows it, she is enrolled in a correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre and beyond, with a mysterious philosopher. But Sophie is receiving a separate batch of equally unusual letters. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up in Sophie's world? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must make use of the philosophy she is learning. But the truth is far more complicated than she could have imagined...
