There were no distinctions at that time, however, philosophy and mathematics are a bit more clearly defined and mathematics has clearly done more for the world with logic than philosophy has. If Aristotle were still around today I imagine he would be more engaged and enamored with math and the natural sciences rather than any of the humanities.

Maybe, maybe not, but this is not what we're talking about. You stated that math contributed more to society than literature. I'm simply pointing out your statement to be a hierarchical fallacy, since the fact that you can be a scholar in anything in the first place is because of literature. Without literature there can be no tradition, no knowledge of history. Literature is the only tool with which mankind can rationalise, transmit and interpret language through time. Without literature, language is either lost or its progress halted. Literature is literally the only reason mankind has progressed from living in caves.

You're wrong. We know from example that Inca civilization was able to develop complex stone works comparable to the Egyptians without a writing system.

They aren't inherantly bad.
