Judd's novel about the history of philosophy is unprecedented. He once again proved that philosophy was not written in an ivory tower by academic people who were divorced from reality. -"German Sunday Report"

This book is an outstanding example of popularizing academic works. Those who haven't studied Introduction to Philosophy can regard it as the best introductory reading, while those who have studied this course forget that most of them are powerful works for reviewing and learning new things. -Newsweek, USA

Jostan Judd, a Norwegian writer, not only writes well, but also has many years of experience as a philosophy teacher. The book Sophie's World helps readers to explore the history of world philosophy from pre-Plato to the 20th century with the feeling of reading detective novels, without any boring feeling. -Madeleine wrangell, a famous writer and critic

Philosophy is not omnipotent, but it never pays attention to the importance of "loving wisdom" and the experience of predecessors, so it is bound to be closed and terminated. This may be the reason why this book is so popular. In order to make people move from confusion to consciousness, this book provides a bright light. Fu Peirong, a philosophy professor.

Philosophy plus detective, fantasy and cosmology make people more open-minded Isn't this the most classic essence of philosophy "love for wisdom"? -famous writer Nan Fang Shuo

Long comment:

Whose philosophical history is it?

This book is really a publisher's dream. This history of western philosophy, written by an unknown Nordic high school teacher, broke the tradition of unpopular academic topics and made philosophy out of the dark ivory tower and become the hottest selling point.

A novel about the history of philosophy is the subtitle of Sophie's world, which can quite point out the main points of the book. This is a novel, but it is also a systematic fast food hodgepodge that covers all philosophical thoughts. As the characters in the novel seek mysterious answers in the philosophical tradition, readers also review the history of western philosophy.

In terms of content and popularity, Sophie's World is a very attractive book. The success of this book shows an important social indicator, that is, the public's thirst for knowledge and lack of security. In a novel, the whole history of western philosophy is very attractive to a generation that pursues speed. In addition to pursuing the popular trend of knowledge, most people are more or less aware of the lack of education today. Our education does not provide the necessary knowledge about life and its meaning, and these answers are hidden in the mystery of philosophy. Now, we have a chance to visit and see what these well-read people have taught us.

The best-selling of this book has its importance, which can be seen from several aspects. Although this book is not an academic work, it is a book defending philosophy. Because of its popularity, it also represents the "view of the majority". This book is not about a specific philosophical trend of thought or history, but tries to give an overview of each faction and explain its position in today's world. It can be said to be a collection of "summary records of general views in academic circles" So this book expresses the position of today's intellectuals.

If Sophie's World represents the philosophical views of mainstream intellectuals, what it expresses is also extremely eye-catching. This book gives a very lofty evaluation of true philosophy: critical, rational and fair comments; Get rid of prejudices, superstitions and customs; Do not make hasty and rash judgments, but pursue truth, knowledge, beauty and virtue.

Frankly speaking, this is why there are philosophers in the world. We need philosophers, not because they can choose a beauty queen for us or tell us the lowest price of tomatoes today. Philosophers always try to avoid this hot topic with no eternal value and try to attract people's attention to things that are always "true", "beautiful" and "good".

In this book, Judd's real interest in philosophy is not in logic, mathematics or linguistics. When the focus of the story shifted to Marx, Freud, Darwin and cosmology, Moore, Russell and others didn't even mention it. Some topics, even if they have nothing to do with philosophy, appear repeatedly. Obviously, this book is very pleasing in political position. All modern fashionable words are included: ecology, feminism, tolerance, eastern religions, comparative religions, the United Nations and the new world order. This way of writing may be to make philosophical issues out of touch with the times, or to cover a wider audience, but it leaves readers with the impression that these issues seem to be the author's real concern.

Therefore, this is not "a novel about the history of philosophy", but a contemporary humanist who supports nature's selective discussion of the roots of philosophy. At the end of the novel, science is recognized as the judge of truth; Although the doctrine of materialism is not clear, it is definitely the best choice for mankind. This book leads readers to such a conclusion, but it doesn't actually provide reasons. The impression it gives readers is that it is the result of the accumulation of wisdom in past dynasties; Of course, different history will lead to different endings.

Philip Jansen
