Knowledge of the past is key. If we don't know anything, how can we appreciate it? But this isn't a racial thing about white europe. The classical nature is present in China, Egypt, India, Europe and in the new world. HOWEVER. It isn't just an appreciation for being old and powerful. I assert that there are specific moral/ethical/philosophical ideas -- shared between some but not all cultural forms -- that are more better. Yes! This isn't black and white, but there are better values and worse values. For instance, in China, Europe and India, the idea of harmony is expressed as diversity in unity -- and this serves as a kind of foundational value in classical civilization. Harmony was not MA'AT or perfect uniformity, as it was in Egypt. And I don't know what the new world believed, but I don't dig the human sacrifice. Does that mean I reject the civilization of Egypt and the new world? No. But I appreciate that we have certain classical ideals at the heart of our modern societies.
