Bingo. The greek(roman) society was a military meritocratic hierarchy domesticating humans like they had cattle and horses from slaves to serfs to peasants(conquered) to freemen(their own), to citizens (elites).

Exactly. So aristotle is talking from and to a ruling class about themselves. Plato to a ruling class about the people. Epicurus and Zeno/Seneca to peers. So that’s the grid we need. What class talking to what class presuming what agency. The ‘hole’ for xianity then appears…

Islam, within 100 years of the arab conquests, created in Baghdad an a scholarly movement combining the thought of Indians, Persians, Egyptians, Europeans, by translating them into Arabic just as Europeans restored Aristotle and the ancients. But they were undermined AS WE ARE.

So the way I categorize it is that democritus-epicureans got metaphysics correct.

but I have a pretty keen sense of the greek demand for loyalty and this is why the collectivist (political) vs individualist thinkers (epicurus), diverged.

If I complete the order of the inventions of mindfulness, recovering from the bronze age collapse, by the presumption of human agency I end up with:

Liberalism didn’t win WW2 – the soviets did. Liberalism didn’t create science, but warred against it. Those achievements were made by the protestants, germanics, and the military industrial complex. 😉

They were all the result of the restoration of aristotle by those that returned from the crusades followed by the flight of islamic intellectuals under fundamentalism, then printed and published by the north italian middle class against the will of the church.
