The Frame

A novel about the history of philosophy, according to the subtitle. Sophie, a fifteen-year-old Norwegian girl, starts receiving mysterious packages containing “a course in philosophy,” which moves from the Greek philosophers through Medieval Christian philosophy and the Enlightenment to modern times. The book itself ends up throwing in a bit of literary theory and postmodernism for good measure. I was a little put off by how unequivocally the philosophy teacher accepted certain philosophical systems, but the book is a delightful read that is enormously successful at being both entertaining and informative.
