Western philosophy - originated from Greeks. Why ? Why not other civilization like phoenicians or carthagenians etc.
- Because they have capability to write and concepts and ideas could percolate down to generations.
- Greeks were in to overseas trading - so got views of different societies
- Greek were decentralized - diversity and conflicts induce new ideas, Other civilization were - heavily controlled by government and hence not much freedom for ideas
