Starting with this book: Strange civilization In a small town on the western boundary of the world, a strange new force works 500 years ago of Christ. . . Athens has entered the midst of a genius that formed her short, spectacular genius, a world of thought and spirit. . . . Since then the things produced by art and thought never surpass and it is rare for people to accept.
In Hamilton's view, the Greek civilization was in its heyday, representing a kind of "flowering thought" that is not compared in the history of the world. The Greek way shows that the Greeks recognize and appreciate something like love, sports game, knowledge love, art and intellectual dialogue. In the first chapter of Chapter 12 of the book "East and West", Hamilton explains the difference between the West and the East. Book reviewer Hamilton believed that the first Western Greek challenged the east, and pointed out that this method "always remained unchanged from the present age." Hamilton believes that the modern spirit of the West is "the discovery of Greece, the position of the Greeks in the modern world".
Many of the facts of "Greek Road" (1930) surprised modern readers. The Australian commentator explained Hamilton's view. "The spirit of our time is the discovery of the Greeks, the Greeks are truly the first Westerners and the first intellectuals." Modern games and sports concepts are actually Greek common It is an activity, and I am engaged in sports and sports events such as competition, competition, music, dance, wrestling competition.
It is their worldview to make Greeks different. If other countries see identity and continuity, the Greeks and their heirs tend to pay attention to separation and distinction. The way Greeks see things needs to change from the use of faith, poetry and intuition to dependence on reason. Unlike mystical insights, scientific theory can not be achieved with meditation alone, but requires inference that the world can be observed accurately and that other people can criticize, analyze, modify, and correct others. It's like that. The Greeks revealed everything they perceive after their search test - nature, humanity, and sanctity.
