The Philosophy of Science Communication
Had high school senior Brianne Suldovsky not encountered the novel “Sophie’s World” in her Advance Placement English class, she likely would not be heading off to the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center for a postdoctoral fellowship in the Science of Science Communication.
The book details events as a 14-year-old Norwegian girl corresponds with a middle-aged philosopher who introduces her to philosophical thinking and the history of philosophy, and it ultimately led Suldovsky to challenge the fundamentalist faith she had grown up with in northern Idaho and utterly changed her world view.
