CONTEMPORARY WORLD CIVILIZATIONS (ÇAĞDAŞ DÜNYA UYGARLIKLARI) - (İNGİLİZCE) Dersi The Western Civilization soru detayı:

CEVAP:

Greeks perceived law as an achievement of the rational mind rather than as a proclamation imposed by divinities. In the process, they also developed the idea of political freedom and the possibility of democratic and other political institutions. Their philosophers argued that nature is not controlled by blind chance. There are some general rules of nature which can be comprehended by human minds. This led to the search for truth, the collection of data, and the generation of theoretical explanations. Thus, a distinction between medicine and magic was recognized. The quest for truth was also associated for the admiration of beauty, exemplified in architecture, sculptures, pottery, and clothes. Still today, these Greek achievements constitute a basis for Western civilization.
