Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This captivating book explores the contrasting civilizations of India and ancient Greece through the lens of a fundamental law of human development. The author posits that human life oscillates between two opposing emphases: causality and results, which shape all aspects of a civilization's thought, morality, science, art, and social organization. In the case of India, an exaggerated emphasis on causality led to an intense preoccupation with dependence and fatalistic speculations, ultimately resulting in a distorted view of morality where self-sacrifice became synonymous with self-torture. Conversely, classical Greek civilization, with its focus on results, developed an ethical system based on the practical consequences of conduct and a keen interest in adapting means to ends. Through a comprehensive examination of religion, morality, science, art, and social evolution in both civilizations, this book provides deep insights into the profound influence of this fundamental law on the historical trajectories of human societies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333932336_0
