- Early in the book, we read the following about Sophie: “She decided that philosophy was not something you can learn; but perhaps you can learn to think philosophically.” Discuss whether you—as a reader, as a thinker, as a student—would agree with her. Explain why or why not. (Holtzbrinck Publishers 6)
