Reading Sophie's World was also an accident. I just flipped through the books in the library and saw the first page, "Who are you? At some point, things must have started from scratch. " Two simple sentences made me fall into thinking and aroused my great interest. This book attracted me deeply.
? Sophie's World teaches a girl named Sophie the knowledge of western philosophy through a philosophy tutor. The author skillfully embeds philosophical knowledge into the novel, reveals the thoughts of natural philosophers, Socrates, Aristotle, Descartes, Hegel, Marx, Freud and other major western philosophers through letters and dialogues, and explains them in combination with the historical background at that time.
The author of this book is Norwegian writer Jostan Judd. He expressed the basic idea of philosophy in the simplest language, not profound philosophical language. His concise style is integrated into the novel situation, which makes people learn philosophical knowledge in relaxed and happy reading and inspires countless readers to think about their personal life, historical position and vast universe.
This book is easy to understand, easy to understand and clear in thought. It tells the western philosophy on the time axis. This paper introduces the connections and differences between the thoughts of major western philosophers and various schools of thought, and what they inherited and criticized. (Hobbes, philosophy is the battlefield where everyone opposes and cultivates everyone.) For example, the ancient Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato and Aristotle all have the relationship between teachers and students and their thoughts. Hume's empiricism (later renamed Hume) developed to the extreme, and how it inspired and influenced the great philosopher Kant.
Philosophy does not come into being out of thin air. Philosophy is closely connected with the times and is the result of people's thinking about the spirit of the times. In order to make it easier for readers to understand the philosopher's thoughts, this book also gives a detailed description of the historical background and introduction of the Renaissance, so that readers can more easily understand the philosophical thoughts and their origins at that time.
The book is not very thick, but it basically contains western philosophical thoughts. Just like Feng Youlan's evaluation of his A Brief History of Chinese Philosophy, "metaphor is still painting, and form and god are self-sufficient in a small scene."
There is no shortage of gold, and no one is perfect. This book also has some shortcomings. Schopenhauer is the founder of pessimistic philosophy, which didn't mention a word. Nietzsche, who said "God is dead", is only briefly mentioned in the book. It is puzzling and regrettable that the author ignores China's philosophy and Indian philosophy.
Philosophy makes people's life move from chaos to wisdom and from confusion to consciousness, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. We are at the intersection of time and space. As a finite existence in an instant, we long for eternity and infinity, but we are doomed to fail to achieve our goal. We can only think painfully and happily on the road forever. This is also the original meaning of the word philosophy (Sophie), which loves wisdom.
My first philosophy book, Sophie's World, opened the door to philosophy and inspired me to think about everything in the universe, time and space and care about the ultimate meaning of life.
My first philosophy book, Sophie's World, is easy to understand and has benefited me a lot.
