The Philosophical notes on “The little prince” is an enlightening reading. Instead of being heavily philosophical, it is more about dream, childhood, life, love, loneliness, and choices.
The Little Prince is so popular across generations. However, there is an impression that this is an easy-to-read and there are no great thoughts in it. Indeed, the author Dr Chow Po Chung said every time he reads The Little Prince; he feels this is a marvellous philosophical fable with the deep reflection of the modern society by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
Do you want to decipher the worldview of The Little Prince? Come to the Library and borrow Philosophical notes on “The little prince”.
