The book I am currently reading is called "Sophies world", this book is a very unique book since it combines philosophy with thoughts of a 14 year old girl and how different minds function. As you get deeper into the book it confuses you more with thoughts about the world and Sophie's society, it compares different aspects of the world and makes you question different things. Sophie keeps receiving intriguing questions through letters, with an unknown sender. She not only begins receiving questions but as well the first chapter to a philosophy course. She begin to get some postcards that are adressed to Hilde, from Hildes father Albert Knag.
Sophie gets a thorough education on Greek and Hellenistic philosophy as she joined the course, but things begin to become strange...By this time she is introduced to her philosophy teacher Alberto Knox who has been sending her these letters. He is a middle aged philosopher who is trying to introduce her to philosophical thinking and the history of philosophy.
Some words I found while I was reading:
Trivialities - Lack of seriousness or importance; insignificance
Dank - Unpleasantly damp or cold
Turmoil - A state of great disturbance, confusion or uncertainty
