Rationalism

The theory that the exercise of reason, rather than the acceptance of empiricism, authority, or spiritual revelation, provides the only valid basis for action or belief and that reason is the prime source of knowledge and of spiritual truth.

Quiz #1

Write down the names of all the cultures/civilizations that we've covered so far (as many as you can remember).

Then for each, write down two -specific- influences they've had on other (and/or later) cultures / the more modern "West".

Page 13: Classical Greek Historians - Emily. Classical Greek Historians “History” < historiai ‘inquiries, research’ Herodotus & Thucydides Founders of Western

Quiz #1Not very good answer:Archaic/Classical Greek politics and architecture

Much better answer:The idea the Greeks had that it was a citizen's duty to be

involved in politics is still present in modern America, where there is a somewhat similar (though maybe less strong) concept of the importance of political activism.

Greek styles of architecture, for example, the Ionic, Doric, and Corinthian columns around the front of buildings, are still used today, especially for buildings that are associated with things like politics, law, philosophy, etc. that are considered legacies of Ancient Greece.
