I finished reading this book about a year ago, one of my teachers
gave it to me as a present. It completely changed my life and the
way I view the world. It took me four days to read it, I couldn't
put it down. Sophie's world will make you see the universe in a
totally different manner.
From Aristotle to Kierkegaard to Marx, this novel takes you on a
philosophical journey through Ancient Greece and the Middle Ages to
the Renaissance and the dawn of the Enlightenment. You will find
yourself actually feeling like you live in the age of Socrates and
Plato. Your mind will do a complete 360 by the end of this
novel.
After reading this novel, I enrolled in a philosophy course to
learn more, and am planning a trip to Greece to see where it all
began. This novel will leave you yearning for more knowledge while
also satisfying your need for a good book. I rate this book a
definate 5 and guarantee all who read it will do the same.
