[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Yes GREEK philosophy developed in Greece. But PHILOSOPHY in general did not. They are two different things. THAT is what many Eurocentric historians are constantly trying to push down peoples throats. THAT is why they are so "against" Greek philosophy being derived from anywhere else, because they want it (thinking) to be a UNIQUE event in human history and something PARTICULAR to Europeans. People did not just suddenly start asking deep questions about the origin of the universe or why we are here or posing theoretical answers to those questions when the Greeks came along. It has been going on since the beginning of mankind. And a lot of the earliest Greek "philosophy" is quite rudimentary "duh" stuff to begin with, but some treat the WAY it is written as "special". And, given that the GREEK WORLD was primarily centered in THE EAST and Africa, it is blatantly obvious that they would have received influence from there. In fact, almost ALL conquests of the Greek empire lay in the what the Greeks considered the ANCIENT WORLD, which again was the EAST and Africa. And one of the BIGGEST MYTHS of all about Greek philosophy was that it was purely rational. SORRY, but ancient Greeks were just as mystical (superstitious) as any other ancient culture. [/QB][/QUOTE]
