Philip Pullman

[Eldo]

I've started reading Philip Pullman's biography and am fascinated by his ideas and great imagination in His Dark Materials. Though I don't agree with his religious or anti-religious beliefs. What do you all think of Pullman.

Ah, an intelect (I'm into philosophy and psychology)
This could prove interesting
Check out my post Realety or illusion in the Science/Nature post Eldo, see what you think.

Thanks for telling me. I'll take a look.

Eldo, I think that this thread would be better placed in one of the other sections - I'm sure that one of the guys will move it shortly. There are discussions on Pullman's work elsewhere that you might want to have a look through. I liked his Dark Material's Trilogy and would happily enter discussion on it, but I think that this is the wrong section of the site to do so.

Will catch up with the thread once it has been relocated.

Hello Mark

Your spot on there. I'll enter the Science and Nature section.

Moved to the Books and Literature board.

Only read the dark materials trilogy. Apparently its a childrens series, I think its more older teenagers or above. Theres far too many more adult insinuations in it, let alone the ending.

I was shocked to read a "book of the month" magazine, and found that "His Dark Materials" is classed as being for 11+ year olds...

Having read the first one and onto the second of the trilogy, I wouldn't believe that an 11 year old would understand it...
