Description

Did you know that Western civilization has influenced the lives of almost everyone alive today?

What do you know about Western civilization? It might sound like a funny question to ask, but a lot of people don't realize how much the West has impacted the world. The values of Western civilization have influenced laws, people's sense of individuality, and even our morals.

This book will trace Western civilization back to its roots. In this epic quest, we head all the way back to Greece when Greek philosophers like Socrates and Plato pondered the very meaning of life. Explore the depths of knowledge that were probed by Greek schools of thought, such as the Stoics and the Cynics.

Was it better to stoically grin and bear the troubles of life as the Stoics advised, or was it better to simply shrug one's shoulders and declare everything to be pointless, stupid, and absurd?

And in the middle of these philosophers' quest, a missionary from Judea named Paul of Tarsus stepped in to spread the "good news" of the Gospels. Christianity and other schools of thought converged, and the Roman Empire helped to facilitate the spread of these ideas far and wide. Soon, the foundations for Western civilization had been firmly established.

These ideas would later undergo renaissances, reformations, and scientific revolutions, but the basic foundation has remained in place. Here, in this book, we explore all of the fascinating aspects of the great framework upon which our modern Western civilization rests.

In this book, you will learn the following:

• Greek philosophical and scientific discoveries

• The convergence of Greco-Roman and Christian beliefs

• How Western civilization transformed during the Middle Ages

• The Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution

• The march toward modernism and how that impacted the globe

• And much more!
