Life happened, and it took me longer than expected to read this book, but it turned out to be a good thing. I had enough time to think about the topics.

It's one of my favorite books I have read thus far and one that I will definitely come back to in the near future. I learned so much from Jostein, Sophie, Hilde, Alberto and Albert.

From other reviews, I gathered that people didn't like the story part of the book and only enjoyed the philosophy course, but I think the story is quite nice. It flowed well and was a good break between all the heavy topics.

V nice, gg Jostein.

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.
