In looking for a book similar to Sophie‘s World for Eastern Philosophy, I stumbled upon this book. It combines east and west, and is organised thematically, so by “project” as opposed to period or philosopher. I know we‘re a long way off from Pooh and Piglet still, but this could be a fun third book. Just offering it for consideration.

TheBookHippie YUP!! Number three it is! HA. I love a plan. 4y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie plans are my friends, too. lol 4y
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit @ravenlee okay I promise to stop planning now. We can figure the rest out when we‘re further alone. 😇 4y
kspenmoll Looks great! 4y
ravenlee Weren‘t we going to read this one at some point? 1mo
GingerAntics @ravenlee we were shortly after we read Sophie‘s World. Then we kept picking other books instead. Would you like to return it to candidacy for our next read? lol 1mo
GingerAntics @ravenlee we actually talked about reading another book by this author as well… from what I can tell. 1mo
ravenlee I think he wrote one of those short guides, like the philosophy in the Muslim world one, but I don‘t know if that was on our list. I found this on my shelf recently and was trying to figure out why I had it but hadn‘t read it. I‘d love to read it together if anyone‘s interested. 1mo
GingerAntics @ravenlee I still have my copy just sitting here. Was that really multiple years ago now? That‘s crazy. I have another book of his, a short history of truth that we talked about reading at one point too. I vote we read this one next, after Other Minds. This should (in theory) be more how we started than what we have read lately.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
