Sophie's World: A Novel about the History of Philosophy

Jostein Gaarder

★ 5.0 · 936 reads

The book is pretty much a modern day version of Plato's Dialogues -- the author uses the Socratic method to drive discussions between the characters in the book. This does a pretty good job at explaining the relationships between most of the major philosophical viewpoints but it doesn't really explain anything in any significant detail. Overall it was a good book. It has more to offer those without a lot of philosophical knowledge, though.
