So you think it has some merits to say that we stand on the pillars of Jerusalem, Athens and Rome?
That the Christian idea about morals was wedded to the “western” logical thoughts of the Greeks to put it simply...
(I need to post here more. My English is deteriorating...)
Yes. Absolutely. Aristotle and Plato, and philosophical thinking in general, were pretty much abandoned in Greece, especially after the fall of Constantinople.
The one place where philosophy was regularly practiced was in the Christian West.
There was a golden age of philosophy in the Muslim world, but that was the work of people they conquered. And it didn’t last long. It was in the Christian monasteries and universities that philosophy was preserved and developed.
China had scholarship and philosophy, but without the basis in moral love that Christianity offers. Taoism is contradictory and can even be turned to evil. Confucianism was the main basis of their civilization, but it doesn’t make much allowance for free will among ordinary people.
