"Sophie's World" by Jostein Gaarder is a unique and captivating novel that blends fiction with philosophy. It follows the story of Sophie Amundsen, a fourteen-year-old girl in Norway who begins receiving mysterious letters with deep philosophical questions like “Who are you?” and “Where does the world come from?”As Sophie delves into these questions, she is taken on a fascinating journey through the history of Western philosophy — from Socrates and Plato to Descartes, Kant, and beyond. The novel gradually transforms into a mind-bending metafictional narrative, challenging the boundaries between reality and thought.
