My 11 year old son and I read this together. It was an great jumping in point for him and I enjoyed it as well. There are conversations we have sometimes where I don't always know how to explain something in terms he understands. This book gives a lot of examples that gave me more ideas on how to do that. Also, there is some humor in here. And we had A LOT of fun discussing the book. The questions for discussion in this are great, and we have been talking for days about what we read. Excellent book!

فلسفه برای نوجوانان / مهرگان خرد
امتیاز من ۳.۵ از ۵
کتاب در باب چند موضوع اساسی فلسفه سیاست و اخلاق و متافیزیک و... نظرات فیلسوف های مختلف رو بیان میکنه و سوالاتی برای خواننده مینویسه. از فلسفه شرق و غرب کنار هم میگه و خوب مقایسه میکنه.
اما خیلی سریع و گذرا از روی هر نظر عبور میکنه و درست توضیح شون نمیده اینه که ممکنه برای خواننده تازه کار درک یسری جاها سخت باشه (در رده سنی نوجوان) چون بدون توضیح و مقدمه خاصی مستقیم میره اصل مطلب رو میاره.
ترجمه کتاب خوبه و از لغات خوبی استفاده شده. بعنوان کتاب دوم یا سوم پیشنهاد میدم ولی برای شروع فلسفه و کتاب اول مناسب نیست.

I loved this book! It brought up different philosophers, had questions to make you think, etc. Really interesting book. I felt that the author's opinion influenced the book a bit, but that was only a minor issue.
