Thank you OP, you have saved me from centuries of developments in human thought.

Someone recommended that another OP not start with the Greeks, but rather with Descartes' Meditations. Apparently I'll get much more out of the Greeks after reading Western European philosophy from its actual beginning. Thoughts?
