Ex Libris

"But the reason so many students and migrants from around the world are
drawn to the west is our humanistic values, rooted in the importance
westerners place on the individual. White men have dominated western philosophy, but the ideas that emerged from those men continue to
underpin our civilization. They deserve a special place in the highest institutions of learning."

Hear, hear.

I think the Greek philosophy have a big part to play in it because they
are popular in both in Europe and the Middle East since ever.

I think it also help that a lot of the original text still survices and can be scrutinised - albeit it Greek or Latin.
