without thinking how they came into existence. We take them for granted, as if we were entitled to them as a matter of right. We are very proud of the fact that we live in an advanced age and are ourselves very advanced. Now, there is no doubt that our age is very different from previous ages and I think it is perfectly correct to say that it is far more advanced. But it is a different thing from saying that we, as individuals or groups, are more advanced. It would be the height of absurdity to say that because an engine driver can run an engine and Plato or Socrates could not, the engine driver is more advanced than, or is superior to, Plato or Socrates.

a)
An engine driver is cleverer than Plato or Socrates
b)
Plato or Socrates are in no way inferior to the engine driver

The engine driver cannot be compared to Plato or Socrates

a) They were men of great scholarship

People as individuals in the modern age are not more advanced than their predecessors

Plato and Socrates had greater respect for learning
