    started this over the weekend. written by a norwegian it seems to be a series of letters on the great philosophers and their ideas. anyone who read it have any opinion?

    yeah, i read it about 4 years ago.
    having mother who actual leactures the subject in trinity and UCD has given me the joy of understanding (just a little bit anyway) about the whole philosophy thing.
    so i thought the book was very good in that it gives a little insight into all different philosophical thoughts throughout histry
    only problem was that while is was ground covering, it was very lite in actual content on the subjects, plus it was still a story
    and a crap story as well.
    but its still worth reading and does become a bit heavy in parts

    Yeah, but i find its a great trainer for more philosophy. Must get myself some books about aristotle and archimedes. sophie's world must be pretty good if it gets me to think that, no?
