The Perverse Tradition of the West
The Western tradition as a whole can be summed up by Plato in the Republic, he says. "A full knowledge of the truth will transcend appearances or go more deeply into them until it reaches what's beyond them" A rich form of human life will be a life spent in contact with reality and its fullness, not just with the superficial,. This is just the West tradition as a entire; it's not exclusive property of the West."
