To the Greeks we owe the concept of humanism, the astoundingly revolutionary belief in man, and man’s power―and the possibility of a world guided by rationality. Christianity introduced the concept of a caring God and the institutionalization of societal care. There will be a brief discussion of a significant sin of omission in Eurocentric education―that is, mention of the intellectual vibrancy and manifold gifts to us of the Muslim world.
