True. Western Culture is pretty... Gone.
how you figure that, doc?
What is Western Culture?
Starbucks, I guess.
liberal democracy, the scientific method, the philosophical legacy of the hellenists, enlightenment thinkers....
and yes, starbucks also
pop culture is also culture
high and low culture are both things
pop culture is the sewer
still culture mang
If you want to claim scientific method as part of a *Western Culture* fair enough I guess, but that has been under assault for a long time in the academia in favor of things like "lived experiences"
Its an insult to real culture
Liberal Democracy is withering away as we speak..
good
Rest of it that you mentioned is imprecise and contradictory in itself.
Liberal "democracy" isn't so democratic
and neither is it Liberal any longer
(((democracy)))
doesnt seem to be. the global hegemon is america and its pretty secure. its challengers? not so much. also "lived experience" might be talked about but i dont see it being used in the field by engineers
allowing criticism reinforces its adoption and allows it to adapt
scientific method isn't applicable any longer to a lot of subjects that are labeled Science is my point.
Christianity is almost dead thanks to that
the king is dead, long live the king
and there is a world outside of America so that is a meek point and an escape.
but america dominates that world
all round the world
its the same story
the globe bows to the standard america sets, not visa versa
no it doesn't..?
Islam has a strong base because its not allowed to be criticized
the führer is dead
Im not saying we should do the same
long live the führer
thank god for that
Because its just from one end to anither
another
If we should criticize something it should be done so that it can be constructive, not destructive which the case in the west.
islam has a strong base, and thats *it*, lets compare this to the periods of time where sects like the mutazila where tolerated and formed a wider sway...
at that point of time it was dominant and growing, rather than today where its stagnant and in decline
You are saying the opposite of whats true.
Are you saying Islam is in decline?
nor do i see the criticsm being levelled in most cases in western culture as destructive
