Excellent discussion and extremely helpful for those, like myself, who have often been puzzled and fascinated by the old cliche of Britain and America being divided by a common language.
Extremely thorough and insightful, opens many paths into the history of ideas for deeper forays into intellectual history generally.
As Russell writes in his History of Western Philosophy “Aristotle’s metaphysics, roughly speaking, may be described as Plato diluted by common sense. He is difficult because Plato and common sense do not mix easily…” Ch.XIX para.9
Richard reminds us we can go back even further to Indian ideas and their influence on the Greek mind; and what of ancient China?
What makes the present era so interesting is that we now enjoy unprecedented access to virtually all the thought processes and cultural artifacts that have brought us this far. What we do with this knowledge, how we internalize it and make it our own, is entirely up to us.
