Title: Sophie's World: A Novel about the History of Philosophy
Author: Jostein Gaarder.
This book is recommended to all that are interested in Philosophy. A little extra information: Sophie means Wisdom, Wise.
The book is about a young girl who receives a free philosophy course from an unknown individiual. Through this individual she learns about many important historical people, their discoveries and thoughts. As she studies the material, she starts to uncover the mystery of the person who is sending her the study materials. It is a good book. I'm halfway through it, if not, a little over halfway through it.
