The brilliant civilization of Ancient Greece is considered to be the cultural root of modern Western, and it is a pearl in the history of ancient Chinese civilization.
Ancient Greece is more concerned about pure research, such as their developed geometry and astronomy, the purpose is to better understand this world and discover their secrets. In the ancient China, especially the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period (an era of thought), his philosophical research is more concerned about the actual life. I think the difference between the two can be explained by an example. The ancient Greece's astronomical research is to find the law of the constellation, better understand it, in China's purpose is used for divination, because the ancient China believes in the sky. Transforms the fate of people in the image and the rise of the country.
Socate - Plato Aristotle, this can be said to be a main line of ancient Greek philosophy, the development of Western civilization is influenced by these three people, I think I can understand some of their knowledge and ideas, this Understanding Western civilization is good.
