Theme of the work

Sophie's World is both a history of philosophy and a history of philosophy, so it's no surprise that philosophy is its theme throughout. Philosophy does not appear as a kind of esoteric contemplation for people who have nothing to do, but as something that is unified with life.

Sophie and Albert need to use philosophy to make sense of their world, but they are not out of place. They can be sure that their world was created by Abbott Nag, but just because people don't have an answer to the origin of their world (or universe), doesn't mean they can't leave the question alone.

In fact, as Judd emphasizes throughout the book, to be a philosopher you can't stop asking questions. Albert struggled to make Sophie realize how remarkable her own existence was. There may not be any answers to the questions that people ask, but that's okay because it's being able to ask questions that makes us human.
