yes. wish i bought it honestly. this book will change your life. i'm not sure how you found it, but i love you.
Oh, I can give it to you if you wish.
wow really? i love you. my throwaway is einsteindavinci@protonmail.com
or you can upload it anywhere else. finding that book in college was the most refreshing feeling in the world. i drew parallels between eastern + western motifs/philosophy but this book was one of the first which addressed the topic. all i have is this random page floating around on my computer.
comparing ancient beliefs and tracing history with geography is a must. everything didn't begin with hellenistic philosophy. western civilization isn't isolated.
ex: buddhism - stoicism - hinduism
people like to compare within, but not across. they are missing out on something very big.
however there is a lot more research to be done on the subject. definitely understated topic.

Thank you.
You are welcome.
i laugh when i think of the youtube vids that are like "CHRISTIANITY DEBUNKED!! NOT ORIGINAL!!! JESUS = HORUS!!! SUN SYMBOLISM PARALLELS!! 3 DAYS! 12 NIGHTS!" etc

if it weren't for the illuminati kangs aesthetic, more people would probably pay attention.
(something along the lines of youtu.be
have you read the book?
i remember going through martin litchfield west - early greek philosophy and the orient and edward arnold's roman stoicism.
>According to Aristotle, “The Magi taught the Persians philosophy; the Chaldaeans taught it to the Babylonians and Assyrians; the Gymnosophists to the Indians; the Druids and the Semnothei to the Gauls and Celts.”
>Thus, Greece was not just the birthplace of philosophy; ... it can be seen as simply a “halting-place in the movement of philosophy.”
>“The cumulative heritage of seven hundred years of Greek dialectic was summed up in handbooks in and before the times of Sextus [Empiricus], and the contents of such a handbook, may all be found in the Madhyamika texts.”
Thanks for the books references.
