Not to mention the distinctly Judeao-Christian idea that individuals matter as individuals -- which just happens to be the basis for what's now called Western Civilization....
To clarify while agreeing.
What was unique was the idea that every individual mattered. All other cultures believed that some people mattered and others just didn't. At all.
The Jews and their Christian offshoot invented the idea that every individual is important simply because he/she is a child of God. Probably the most revolutionary idea in history.
Absolutely! And the heart of that is individual responsibility.
