I read this book a long time ago, and I really liked it. It's very powerful and attractive. It gave me a general idea of philosophy (it's worth mentioning that it was the first book I read about philosophy). I read it in Arabic and English, and I enjoyed them both:)I recommend it for those who have ...
*Read this in summer of 2001* Omg. Can't believe I found this. I remember the horror of being assigned this book for summer reading & having to write a paper on it. More than half of this book was crammed with tedious Philosophical religious jargon that my 9th grade mind couldn't process or understa...
This is a fine introduction of philosophy for young people. I appreciate the original idea of the book in general (and that's why I raise the rating to 3 stars), but the book is stretching too hard to cover so many periods and philosophers, which make each chapter less thoughtful and provoking (the ...
After reading this book about 6 months ago, I decided to pick it up again. While the philosophy parts are still great (well, at least for someone who is still new to philosophy), I felt the story and especially the ending more awkward than I imagined it from my last reading. It could have ended in n...
Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder is an ambitious project which falls flat - in my opinion, of course.It is a very good introduction to European philosophy, with a few casual references to Eastern thought thrown in for the sake of comparison. Starting with Pre-Socratics, it provides a fairly simple...
This is a great book that I would recommend to those who have never appreciated Philosophy class. Or never found it entertaining. There was a point in my life in which this book would have been a blessing for me.But unfortunately the timing is wrong for me. Before I could have loved this book, this ...
Oh my goodness, what can I say about this book! Every teenager should read this amazing work of art, philosophy, history, science...can you ever look at your place in the universe in the same way again after this book - what is the nature of reality? And not only does it weave an amazing adventure ...
It was okay. But I was hoping for a beautiful and engaging tale that took away the usual textbook format of reading about philosophy. It didn't happen. This book was nothing more than a lesson in letters and conversations, and I found the style didn't add anything exciting which I'm supposing was th...
I am absolutely serious in labelling this YA. It came as a surprise to me, as I had definitely previously thought it was aimed at adults, but on this third reread, I discovered that the writing style is much more that of an YA novel, than that of an 'adult' novel. Truth be told, I wasn't too impress...
