@aWildTomAppeared how do you feel about the best ancient greek philosopher, democritus?
idk, im kina new, dont know much other than like plato and aristotle when it comes to philosophers, Was thinking recently, considering aristotle basically made the basis of the scentific theory, do you think if he had the printing press, the renaissance, and therefore all of recent human technological improvements would have happened 2000 years earlier??
Probably
Probably be worse off tbh
idk
kek
There's a lot of Important philosophical development that happened between Aristotle and the printing press.
the more I read into greek philosophy and their general way of life/spirit, the more I wish they survived, but then again, the english values are basically as good as it gets, so idk if it would be better
It never really went away, it just evolved
devolved you mean
Evolved
how? they were just taken over by the romans
Not really
They were still hellenic
The Romans respected the Greek culture, as long as it remained subservient
I dont see how the greek can be greek while being subservient, they always seem to refuse to bend the knee or give up like that,
like the melians
Well Idk what to tell you. Go read a book
The Greeks had a lot of respect in Rome.
They just wanted them to pay their taxes and not compete with them
Kind of like the UK and America
I am aware of how the romans read and spread greek philosophy, but like I dont see any progression from the greek times to the medevil
That's because it's mostly hidden from pop culture
You think the Greeks went from a pantheon of gods to Orthodoxy on a whim?
Greek philosophy didn't end; it just evolved into Theology.
Hellenic Judaism was the start of that
idk man doesnt feel like in improvement to me, from the omni-critical approach of aristotle to Abrahamic religons, I wish at least one endo-european culture had the balls not to take on abrahamic religons,
Lol k
u know any good sources to learn about the greeks after they were strong to more modern times? @Fitzydog

👌
You might have more luck looking at stuff for "The Byzantine Empire"
tfw there were hundreds of great thinkers every century until christianity took over europe, literally none afterward until nearly a thousand years later
I don't even have patience for fedora tippers anymore. It's such a low IQ position based in pure hatred for no reason
The normans, anglo, saxon etc seem kinda dense compared to the greek lol, thats why I assume nothing happened
**Jax the Clackker#1467** was cleansed from the server.
Tfw a polytheist philosopher is considered better than a monotheist for no reason whatsoever
It's just leftover globohomo brainwashing
The Jews hate Christians, and you fell for their bait
it's undeniable that christian europe nearly got conquered by barbarians to the north and south, whereas pagan europe not only defended themselves but also CONQUERED the shitskins
so it's not for no reason at all
