From where does Greek philosophy and science originate? To what extent have the ideas and cultural achievements of the West been influenced by the religions, reflections, and generally the culture of the East?
Has the phenomenon of Eurocentrism indeed led to a devaluation of Egypt's contribution to the civilization of Greece, as Afrocentrists claim? What is the role of the Arabs and various "secret" societies in the preservation and dissemination of knowledge?
Beyond the thorough investigation of issues related to these questions, this book seeks to identify the ideas that emerged from the interactions between Eastern and Western peoples and to trace them back to their origins.
Additionally, it provides a detailed analysis of the thoughts of well-known specialists in the fields of comparative philosophy, the study of intercultural exchanges, religious studies, the history of science, and Eastern studies, in order to determine whether their arguments hold up or lead to unrealistic conclusions.
