Abstract:

<em>Sophie’s World </em>is a philosophical and mystery novel that takes one on a historical journey beginning from ancient western philosophy up to the 20<sup>th</sup> century. The article revolves around a fourteen-year-old school girl, Sophie Amundsen. Another major character in the novel is Alberto Knox. A kind and brilliant philosopher, he also holds a mysterious and secretive demeanour. Unknown to everyone he seems to be non-existent to the eyes of the living world. Both of them embark on the study of philosophy, only to discover that they are nothing more than the fictional charact

Abstract:

In 1982, cinemas around the world screened Sophie's Choice, a film starring Meryl Streep and Kevin Kline, adapted from the book by William Styron.

Stingo is drawn into a relationship with Sophie and Nathan, the couple who live upstairs. Sophie is a Polish concentration camp survivor; Nathan is the man who saved her when she arrived in America. Nathan is charismatic, schizophrenic, and violent.In one of the film's flashbacks, a German soldier imposes a terrible choice on

Abstract:

Jostein Gaarder (1952- ) is a Norwegian thinker and author of a great number of novels, short stories, and children's books among them Sophie's World. This novel deals with a number of issues, and uses a lot of postmodern techniques like meta-fiction. This paper is to explain the use of meta-fiction in the concerned novel to the readers as a postmodern element. Sophie's World, besides being a great philosophical one, it contains several meta-fictional elements like: the story has another story within, commenting on the story while telling it; the narrator exposes himself as both: a character a

Abstract:

Issues about the environment often become the spotlight of the world, ranging from technological developments to a million environmental problems that never end. Now environmental issues are touched by the rapid development of digital technology. This makes a big change for the world of the environment. Ranging from digital conversations to top level or government decision-making to making environmental policies, all references are taken from community activities and participation that often voice their opinions on social media.

Abstract:

THE PUBLIC'S INTEREST in the idea of philosophy and young people has been awakened with the success of ‘Sophie's World’ by Jostein Gaarder (NY: Phoenix House, 1995). How might this interest in philosophy form a link with the teaching of religious education? Historically the links between philosophy and religion have been strong but many teachers have assumed that philosophy is something that young people are incapable of understanding let alone able to use as part of their learning. Arguments from Piaget's psychology of learning also suggest this but the Critical Thinking Skills Movement claim

Abstract:

In Discussing the humor of William Styron's humor-filled novel Sophie's Choice, I am particularly interested in focusing upon the nature of the joke that fills a huge portion of the novel, the Leslie Lapidus affair. Rarely (if ever) in the history of the written word, I'd be willing to venture, has a joke of the outrageous length of this one been set down. The Leslie Lapidus affair, from start to finish, actually takes up about a full fifth of a long novel. The reader first hears of Leslie as a “hot dish” promised to Stingo, the main character and the narrator, on page 82 of the 1992 Vintage e

Abstract:

Chapter 3 brings into the foreground, by name, the women storytellers recorded by Sophie Blanchy, who has extensively studied Comoran society and custom. Their social criticism more often focuses on a misogynistic man, even on a hypocritical Islamic master, than on a lazy wife. If in a story, a young girl is mistreated by her father’s new wife, almost to real or symbolic death, and then is recognized and restored to her proper place through the supernatural intervention of her dead mother, the fiction corresponds all too closely to family tensions in 1980s Mayotte.

Roman friends will, necessarily in studying that ecumenical world, include persons from all parts of it; there will be African Romans, Greek Romans, Asian Romans. Discus

Abstract:

Abstract The most important moment in the history of rhetoric is also the moment that was effectively blotted from the record for nearly two millennia, at the very point when rhetoric’s historiography began to be written: the moment of the ancient sophists, the predecessors and immediate contemporaries—and rivals—of Socrates. It was Socrates’ own historiographer and mythographer, Plato, who successfully disparaged and discredited the sophists. Some say that we should credit the sophists with the very invention of rhetoric as a pedagogy and science; but all would agree that it is to the sophist

Abstract:

Abstract The Greek thinkers in the archaic and classical periods performed their wisdom in different ways and in front of different audiences. As a modern audience that encounters these ‘philosophers’ only in written works, we tend to disconnect their doctrines from their historical and cultural contexts. By focusing on philosophic ‘performances’ of wisdom—both oral and written—and by examining the audiences addressed by these thinkers, we can better appreciate their lives and activities and, indeed, their different conceptions of the nature of wisdom.
