How Greek Civilization Came Together
The development of objective thinking by the Greeks
appears to have required a number of specific cultural
factors. First was the assembly, where men first learned to
persuade one another by means of rational debate. Second

world around which travelers and scholars could
wander. Fourth was the existence of an independent merchant
class that could hire its own teachers. Fifth...And it only happened once.
