Eine fesselnde Reise durch die Geschichte der Philosophie im Dialog eines geheimnisvollen Lehrers mit einer selbstbewussten 15jährigen. - Hörspielbearbeitung.

Sofies Welt

Sofies verden

Poco antes de cumplir los quince anos, la joven Sofia recibe una misteriosa carta anonima con las siguientes preguntas: 'Quien eres?', 'De donde viene el mundo?'. Este es el punto de partida de una apasionada expedicion a traves de la historia de la filosofia con un enigmatico filosofo. A lo largo de la novela, Sofia ira desarrollando su identidad a medida que va ampliando su pensamiento a traves de estas ensenanzas: porque la Verdad es mucho mas interesante y mas compleja de lo que podria haber imaginado en un principio. El mundo de Sofia no es solo una novela de misterio, tambien es la primera novela hasta el momento que presenta una completa - y entretenida - historia de la filosofia desde sus inicios hasta nuestros dias. 'Un nuevo y sorprendente exito literario, el mas importante desde el misterio monastico erudito de Umberto Eco con El nombre de la rosa.' Der Spiegel 'Queria Jostein Gaarder escribir una novela para jovenes que buscan el sentido de la vida, sin embargo ahora El mundo de Sofia es un libro de culto para adultos.' Stern

Novela Sobre la Historia de la Filosofía

El Mundo de Sofía

This book allows you do a travel through philosophy's history while other history happens.

Martin Morales

The protagonists are Sophie Amundsen, a 14-year-old girl, and Alberto Knox, her philosophy teacher. The novel chronicles their metaphysical relationship as they study Western philosophy from its beginnings to the present. A bestseller in Norway.

A Novel about the History of Philosophy

Sophie's World

Annika Arguemore

the plot was mind-blowing and had a lot of wonderful twists. it has a lot of facts about philosophical history and the greastest most well-known philosophers themselves. lovely.

Jonathan Tysick

Informative, intriguing and original. Sometimes it felt more philosophy textbook than novel, but eventually that was rectified albeit in a way I found a bit unsatisfactory. Still a good read!

Gavin

Ponderous and meta, sure, but it's also romantic about thinking and I'll forgive a lot for a drop of that. It is a long version of this beautiful idea of Gödel's:

  Engaging in philosophy is salutary in any case, even when no positive results emerge from it (and I remain perplexed). It has the effect that 'the colors brighten', that is, reality appears more clearly as such. 



This bit was moving: 
  Actually we are the white rabbit being pulled out of the hat. The only difference beween us and the white rabbit is that the rabbit does not realize it is taking part in a magic trick.

Jiahao Chen

Like all highly condensed treatises, the book gives just enough of a sketch of major themes in philosophy to whet one's appetite to find out more. It's also quite interesting to follow the plot that weaves the introductions together and then takes over the book.

When 14-year-old Sophie encounters a mysterious mentor who introduces her to philosophy, mysteries deepen in her own life. Why does she keep getting postcards addressed to another girl? Who is the other girl? And who, for that matter, is Sophie herself? To solve the riddle, she uses her new knowledge of philosophy, but the truth is far stranger than she could have imagined. A phenomenal worldwide bestseller, SOPHIE'S WORLD sets out to draw teenagers into the world of Socrates, Descartes, Spinoza, Hegel and all the great philosophers. A brilliantly original and fascinating story with many twists and turns, it raises profound questions about the meaning of life and the origin of the universe.

Arturo Hernández

This book is an overview of the history of philosophy in a very relatable way to interpret. You learn about Sophie, God, Athens, the Middle Ages, Descartes, Kant, even Jesus. And during this you wonder about the meaning of so many things. This is one of the best reads I’ve had during the whole year. Truly recommended!

Nicole Dykeman

DNF. This was an assignment for AP Lit, and we only had to read to page 250. I really didn't like this enough to finish it out. It's basically nonfiction disguised as fiction. Not my style.

The international bestseller about life, the universe and everything. When 14-year-old Sophie encounters a mysterious mentor who introduces her to philosophy, mysteries deepen in her own life. Why does she keep getting postcards addressed to another girl? Who is the other girl? And who, for that matter, is Sophie herself? To solve the riddle, she uses her new knowledge of philosophy, but the truth is far stranger than she could have imagined. An addictive blend of mystery, philosophy and fantasy, Sophie's World is an international phenomenon which has been translated into 60 languages and sold more than 40 million copies.

Well structured, didactically and literarily strong. However, some chapters are quite dry or go off too far to the other end by being too absurd.

Erfan Abedi

اگه فصل آخرش نبود، اصلا نمی‌تونستم به چشم داستان نگاه کنم بهش.
چرا این‌قدر فضاسازی بی‌استفاده داشت؟
اومده می‌گه باغ سوفی فلان چیز و بهمان چیز رو داره؛ پنجاه صفحه بعد همون توصیف رو برای باغ هیلده می‌کنه، آخرش می‌گه باغ‌هاشون عین همه.
از لحاظ داستانی، راز فال ورق کاملا ازش سر تره، ولی از لحاظ تاریخ فلسفه خوب بود، اون‌م برای یکی مثل من که حالاحالاها حال نداره سراغ کتاب ویل دورانت بره!

Wer bist du? "fragt eín unbekannter Absender Sofie in einem Brief. Noch am selben Tag kommt ein Zweiter. "Woher hommt die Welt?" will diesmal der Schreiber wissen

Roman über die Geschichte der Philosophie

Flavia Louise

This is a great book which I really recommend for anybody wanting to learn the basics of Philosophy but I didn't think it was life altering this time around and I did not like the ending at all.

Es el libro perfecto para entender las bases de la filosofía occidental de una manera muy didáctica, divertida y clara.

un muy buen libro de filosofía, aborda los temas con facilidad y se explica de una manera simple y fácil de comprender. 

No es un libro para todos, además de ser bastante pesado, pero es increíble si lo que quieres es sufrir una crisis existencial y preguntarte muchas cosas que jamás habías contemplado.

p.d. Gracias a Sofia y Hilde dudo de mi propia existencia.

Anna Pinto

This book was a big part of my teenage reading years.
