"Eurocentrism" is a stupid term

it presupposes that "Europe" is some monolithic, singular force

from pretty much the 15th century (essentially the beginning of modernity) and up, the world was dominated by Europe in politics, science, law you name it...so of course alot of modern history is going to be focused on Europe

its like the retard in my class the complained why we weren't talking about why we weren't talking about some imaginary African scientists when discussing Isaac Newton and the Royal Society...

now it's pretty much a catch all term for "White influence" similar to how "decolonization" is a catch all term for "no white influence"

sorry for the "why we weren't talking" double typo

>from pretty much the 15th century (essentially the beginning of modernity) and up, the world was dominated by Europe in politics, science, law you name it...so of course alot of modern history is going to be focused on Europe

>I'm too dumb to learn about non-European history.

I thought you'd start off smart, like claiming that since most modern states have the duty to inoculate their citizens with their world view, and most states in the west have a classical liberal view, they would use the source of classical liberalism as a view back to where they began ideologically, then morph that into a discussion on how the major economic expansion happened during a period when people of euro descent had it easier to make money since due to improving medicine they could leverage the annual increase of demand from the population as rent, and therefore that's why the top .1 is usually Euro, but you didn't, you went /pol/tard, and now this thread will be shut down.

Perhaps it is useful to remind ourselves of some of the values which western culture supports

equality before a codified law and equal access to it, place and position open to all by merit and open competition (rather than nepotism and interest), monogamy, the right to chose and follow the religion of one's choice (or no religion at all) free speech and many less important tenets. These are all directly in opposition to Islamic culture

>muh clash of the cibilizations.

All of those aren't inherntly ""western"" ,
(Is Pooland west? Is Brazil? Is Lebanon?) Tunisia has the best rule of law in history, and is a muslim country. Simple ideas and broad strokes, while easy for your typical idiot to grasp, aren't true.

name one non-euro scientist that has the influence as Isaac Newton

I'll wait?

Different guy here, but I think that's a bad example.

I mean., name a European scientist that has the same influence as Isaac Newton.

Eurocentrism is a valid term that is misused. Of course it is possible to have a bias in favor of Europe or great men and that is something we need to watch out for. Though I more often see eurocentrism used to describe something that overwhelmingly involved Europe or the great man theory used to describe how individuals are often the subject of history than I do people showing clear bias in favor of europe or great men.
