讲座内容简介：

By what series of historical encounters did Western civilization become the combination of the rule of law, democracy, intellectual liberties, critical rationality, science, and economic freedom founded on private property? The story begins with the Greeks, who invented scientific speculation and the ideal of the city, in which individual lives are no longer submerged in a vast sea of humanity. . . . Each person now has individuality and character.  To this the Romans added their invention of private law, whereby they invented the individual human person. The next stage is Christianity or, rather, the impact of biblical religion and spirituality. It brought a new morals and, as a consequence, a new sense of historical responsibility. Fourth root: the synthesis of the biblical ethics with Greek science and Roman law, made at the time of the "papal revolution" of 11th-13th centuries. Lastly, the democratic changes made in Modern times by Dutch, English, American and French Revolutions. All this created what we call the West. Have some of the values and institutions thus invented by Westerners an interest for other cultures? Conversely, what the West can and should learn from other civilizations?
