slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

started reading this book with the intention of just familiarizing myself with the world of philosophy--at least on an introductory-level, and this book did just that and more (!). not only am i more familiar with the history of philosophy, the progression and key ideas, but the story itself outside of the philosophy lessons also honestly exceeded my expectations. it was fun, had quite shocking plot twists , and was overall a joy to read to the end. other than that, the main reason i think people look to read this book, the philosophy lessons, i'd say are well presented and not very dumbed down despite the book being intended for children. some chapters are very thought provoking and most are quite interesting. i think this is a book that everyone should read growing up.

Hay dos formas de leer este libro. Mejor dicho, hay dos formas de ser al leer este libro. Puedes ser como yo, una joven con la misma edad que la protagonista, fascinada ante todo relacionado con la filosofía, sin base y sin saber nada, o, una persona que ya tiene experiencia o estudios en este tema. En este caso, obviamente, te va a parecer una novela plana y sin mucho que contar, pero para alguien que no sabe nada sobre este maravilloso mundo, esta novela es perfecta para empezar a interesarte en otros autores y es una buena introducción.
El escritor lo explica todo de forma sencilla y accesible, sin muchas palabras raras, perfecto para las personas a las que va dedicado el libro.
Que sí, que han faltado muchos filósofos, que sí, que a lo mejor no se ha profundizado en ciertos conceptos. Lo sé. Pero para eso ya hay tochos de 1500 páginas que se tienen que estudiar en el colegio.
Tengo algo clarísimo: si todas las personas que le ponen una o dos estrellas (la mayoría ya con su graduado universitario) la hubieran leído con mi edad, se lo pensarían dos veces.

Este libro utiliza una metodología muy linda para contarte y adentrarte en el mundo de la filosofía.
Pasa por los primeros filósofos de la Antigua Grecia, la edad media, la edad barroca, el romanticismo, etc, etc, etc, hablándote un poco de todos esos grandes pensadores influyentes y no tan influyentes en su época y todo esto a través de una historia que te hace pensar y repensar, leer y releer frases, párrafos para poder entender que dice (o por lo menos yo

Proprio come diceva Hilde, Il mondo di Sofia è un libro che non può essere liquidato in un'unica lettura. Necessita almeno una rilettura per comprendere al meglio tutti i significati della storia della filosofia, ma anche della pazzesca trama che condisce il libro.
Veramente una lettura piacevole, anche se impegnativa nelle parti più divulgative. Consiglio vivamente di leggerlo insieme a qualcun altro, in modo da discutere assieme dei vari passaggi. Questo libro ha risvegliato l'interesse nella filosofia e mi ha lasciata piena di riflessioni e di meraviglia per la vita.

I read this book years ago, probably shortly after it came out. I was probably in my mid-to-late 20s. And I loved the book. In the decades since, I have often thought fondly of the book and what I learned from it. I finally decided to reread it. Sadly, it didn't hold up quite as well as I had hoped. It felt long and in some parts particularly dry. Still, quite a cleverly written book.
Oddly, there was one overriding concept that has been an important part of my world view and which I attributed to the book. It had to do with the relationship of philosophy, science, and religion. In re-reading the book, I found that the concept I held so dear is not actually voiced at all in the book. Certainly all the pieces are there to allow you to come to the conclusion that I had come to, but I would have sworn that it was set out very clearly in writing. I kept waiting to get to that part of the book, but it never came. But the plus is that the book had been a strong catalyst to spark this important idea in me. Now if I talk about this idea, I know that it is an idea that I formulated on my own, not just something I read in a book. :)

It was great overall but I think it didn't cover existentislism and esp Simon beavoir enough. Sad since there was ample potential in the plot to truly appreciate it.
