When will Greeklets ever graduate to the Ottomans?

I know it's bait but ancient Ionia had more valuable culture than all of Anatolia under Turk hegemony. And imagine what the middle east would be like now if it hadn't been stifled by strict Arabic theology. Islam is really just a well crafted vehicle for cultural conquest

Hegel literally completed the system you just outlined. He combine elements of Parmenides, Heraclitus, Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas and of course Kant.

Did Hegel even read Aquinas? I know Kant didn't.

>> No.10303770

>>10303733
I'm not sure but Hegel draws so heavily on Christian theology and mysticism the analogy fits. He graduated as a protestant theologian. In fact some later commentator called him the Protestant Aquinas
