SOPHIE'S

Conclude by summarizing your ideas

“Sophie’s World” was a long, strange, and most unpredictable novel. This was my very first in-depth reading on philosophy. I read this book over the course of a month, while reading other books in parallel, and sometimes taking a break from it on purpose. Our main character is Sophie Amundsen. A history of philosophy wrapped in great fiction, I was greatly engrossed in Sophie’s story, thoughts and discoveries, and Jostein Gaarder is an intriguing novelist to boot.

Interest in philosophy is a skill that young ones should posses so that they will learn to become more active in life. By learning philosophy, they begin to learn why people do things and different theories of how the world and the universe work. Philosophers help us to portrait different roles related in present situation.
