Philosophical Novel

A philosophical novel is a work of fiction that explores deep questions about existence, morality, consciousness, and human nature through its characters and plot. Rather than just telling a story, these novels invite readers to reflect on complex ideas and dilemmas. They often challenge societal norms and encourage critical thinking about life’s fundamental issues. Notable examples include "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse and "Nausea" by Jean-Paul Sartre. Through engaging narratives, philosophical novels aim to provoke thought and inspire readers to consider their own beliefs and values.
