Ancient Greece was something like a beacon of civilization among the ocean of <em>barbarity<\/em> \u2013 and even the very word \u201c<em>barbarian<\/em>\u201d was first used by the <em>Greeks<\/em> and meant every person that did not speak <em>Greek language<\/em> and thus wasn\u2019t considered to be a member of cultured humanity.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"banner-proofread\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"btn-proofread\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evolutionwriters.com\/order.html\"><button>WRITE AWESOME ESSAY FOR ME<\/button><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Philosophy, mathematics, physics, geometry, sculpture, architecture \u2013 these are among the few disciplines that were, in their modern sense, created by the ancient Greeks. They may have evolved greatly since then, but before that time there was no widely-accepted notion of any organized knowledge. Even history itself was never perceived as the direct line before it was understood so by the Greeks \u2013 the history of old wasn\u2019t understood as the ongoing process. People kind of lived in <em>mythological times<\/em> without separating legendary happenings from real life. It was alright for a person to be a grand-grandson of this or that god, it was really considered to be true and existing.<\/p>\n<p>The civilization of ancient Greece became a kind of turning point. During its existence many of these prehistoric notions weren\u2019t eradicated completely, but the foundations were created for a new kind of world. Greece had one of the cultures that contained the spirit of the <em>Western Civilization<\/em> in itself, the spirit that is represented by individualism, rationality and productivity. Later it was transferred to the ancient Rome, then to <em>medieval Europe<\/em>, led it into <em>Renaissance<\/em> and <em>modern period of history<\/em>, so we may say for sure that there is a direct link between us and the ancient Greeks. Following one of the widely-known sayings of the British writer Gilbert Keith Chesterton, a modern Englishman has much more chances to understand an ancient Greek in his toga and more than two millennia separating them, than to understand a Chinese who speaks perfect English, wears a modern suit and, in fact, shares with him a table in a caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Many people consider that it was in the <em>ancient Greece<\/em> that the human\u2019s philosophical thought reached its acme, and afterwards there has only been deterioration. Such people as Aristotle and Plato are still considered to be the most important thinkers that have ever existed \u2013 it may be said that all the contemporary philosophies are based on the ideas of one or another of them.<\/p>\n<p>All this makes it clear that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Given a topic of such magnitude, I am not sure I would be able to write my essay without any outside help.
