Simon Glendinning — Five Things You Need To Know About The Philosophy Of Europe

1. Europe enters philosophy in the context of a distinctively philosophical conception of human history. 
2. For philosophy, the history of Europe unfolds within universal history. 
3. Philosophical history of the world (universal history) has Europe at the head. 
4. Philosophical history of the world is also a discourse of Europe’s modernity 
5. The discourse of Europe’s modernity is… falling apart.

Interesting ...!

Tibetan (DK):

1. The human being is more than the animal (vehicle) BECAUSE he has the capacity to grasp the LOGOS

2. Rationality zoon logon echon(inexplicably to rationality) morphs into mysticism (belief - ens creatum) - where the world is at now, and the clouds are thick .... even the most developed intellects are believers.

4. Mysticism morphs into the hidden knowledge (occult - initiation)

5. Man completes the evolutionary spiral and returns to the capacity to grasp the LOGOS, the persona (transfigured animal) now free, and the bridge built to the inner worlds. The heart is a door .... brain a transponder. Philosopy, mind grasping to understand this process.
