Sophie’s World
$22.00$25.00
is a 1991 novel by Norwegian writer Jostein Gaarder. It follows Sophie Amundsen, a Norwegian teenager, who is introduced to the history of philosophy as she is asked “Who are you?” in a letter from an unknown philosopher.[1] The nonfictional content of the book aligns with Bertrand Russell’s A History of Western Philosophy.[2]
Sophie, without the knowledge of her mother, becomes the student of an old philosopher, Alberto Knox. Alberto teaches her about the history of philosophy. She gets a substantive and understandable review from the pre-Socratics to Jean-Paul Sartre. In addition to this, Sophie and Alberto receive postcards addressed to a girl named Hilde from a man named Albert Knag. As time passes, Knag begins to hide birthday messages to Hilde in ever more impossible ways, including hiding one inside an unpeeled banana and making Alberto’s dog Hermes speak.

God and man
$4.00God and Man is a book featuring a collection of essays by the Egyptian writer Mustafa Mahmoud published by Dar Al-Maaref in 1955. The book of God and Man is a great controversy and has been banned from circulation in Egyptian libraries and still does. Mustafa Mahmoud was accused of atheism because of him, which the writer later denied, while admitting that he could not realize the truth of faith before, as he was on a journey in search of God, which he began by studying the different religions through the three monotheistic religions, and Islam was the last of them. The writer expressed this truth in his book «My Journey from Doubt to Faith» and said that he never denied the existence of the divine self, but he could not imagine its truth until after a strenuous journey of research that took thirty years of the realization of thought, reconsideration, and then reconsider the reconsideration, and said critically to himself, that if he heard the voice of instinct Joan, but perhaps he rea

My journey from doubt to faith
$3.00I refused to worship God because I was immersed in worshipping myself and admired the flash of light that began to flash in my mind with the opening of consciousness and the beginning of the awakening from the cradle of childhood.
This psychological state was behind the controversial scene that recurs every day. I also missed the origins of logic and I am dealing with logic and I did not realize that I am contradicting myself as I recognize the Creator and then say who created the Creator and make him a creature at the time when I call him a creator, which is sophistry itself.
Moreover, to say a first cause of existence requires that this cause must exist in itself and not dependent or need others to exist. If a cause needs a cause, this makes it one of the causal links and does not make it a first cause.$5.00 -
