SOPHIE'S WORLD by Jostein Gaarder

The book that attract my attention, "SOPHIE'S WORLD by Jostein Gaarder". This is a book that full of decades philosophy words by Thiles until Aristotle ( I haven't finished read the book). It is a great book so far, it answered some of my questions..somehow it is related.
I like this paragraph influenced by Aristotle:

Suddenly Sophie said, "Have you wondered why we are alive,Mom?"
'Oh, not again!' (Mom)
'Yes, because now I know the answer. People living in this planet so that someone can go around and giving names to everything.'(Sophie)
'Is that right? I never though that'(Mom)
'Then you have a big problem, because human is a thinking animal. If you don't think, you'r not really a human' (Sophie) (page 100)

I also found something that there is a similarity between Indian,Greek and Latin

The Ancient Indians worshipped the celestial god Dyaus, which in Sanskrit means the sky, day, heaven/Heaven. In Greek this god is called Zeus, in Latin, Jupiter (actually iov-pater, or 'Father Heaven'), and in Old Norse, Tyr. So the names Dyaus, Zeus, lov, and Tyr are dialec variants of the same word." (page 126).
So it's true that basically all of us come from one source!!!
Btw, I borrowed it from INTI library hehehe.. anyone that interested in philosophy.. u'r lucky enough to read this book!!!!
