What if you're just a sims character? Yes, that would explain it.

I'm confused! Now that the story is seen in Hilde's perspective, what is real? Sophie or Hilde's reality? The book's title is 'Sophie's World', but what does it really mean? Reading this book's taking me a long time because it's difficult to find time to read nowadays and because I had to re-read some parts to fully understand what I read. Philosophy is hard!

I remember that our Philosophy professor said, "This is a philosophy class, I don't care how you feel, I care what you think." Since then, I thought that philosophy is just all about reason. Reading this book, I discovered that Hume believes that it is not our reason that determine what we do but our sentiments or what we feel. I thought philosophy is all about reason. I'm glad that I got to know a little about Hume.

I think I'm an empiricist.

I'm like Descartes, I doubt everything. Almost! I remember my midterms exam for Philosophy five years ago, I got Descartes as the topic for my oral exam. It lasted for less than five minutes because I haven't reviewed. Relied on what I heard from my classmates who's reviewing. Still got a passing grade! Hahaha

Religion is a philosophy.

The philosopher showed Sophie around Athens through a video she sent her which I found weird. But I guess it's weirder to see your reflection wink at you. She found Albert's cabin and "stole" the letter for her. Saw a wallet that must've belong to Hilde.

Wisest is she who knows she does not know.

Why is it that if you believed in Christianity or Islam, it was called 'faith.' But if you believed in astrology or Friday the thirteenth it was superstition!
