QUEBEC CITY, April 6, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ancient Greece has always been such a great beauty and wonder that even the people of today are still inspired. It has been considered as one of the greatest civilizations that ever flourished. In this book, Lost and Found or The Neglected Heritage, author Anthony O'Neill delves deeper to provide a clearer understanding of the history and the character of the Greeks.
Greek philosophers considered Philosophy, as an attempt to understand the world and the cosmos in a rational manner -- without referring to gods or religion. By briefly looking at the progression and teaching of the founders of the main schools of philosophy, we see that it actually paves the way for a practical orientation, providing a basis for a "way of living" and social harmony. Though western societies have evolved based on these foundations, it is apparent that this is mainly for the rise of the society's standard of living but not of the people's mindsets. There is still a great need to see beyond our immediate borders and to consider the rights of others.
Let this book not be a lost cause; with its strong message to all, it serves as a powerful wake-up call for change -- to stop history from repeating itself. It's time to learn from the past.
