Abstract

I explore the Greek origins of our Western mode of thinking and question some of the central notions that structure our mental habits. I examine the psychological impact of certain factors (historic, social, technological, and scientific). Finally, I offer a more modest vision of the scientific enterprise than that often professed.

Keywords: Classical Greece, Truth, Reason, Universals, Logical Conversation
