What do Aristotle and Confucius have in common? A new dialogue between ancient giants is brewing! At the 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations, scholars spotlighted surprising philosophical ties between two powerhouse civilizations: China and Greece.
Stelios Virvidakis, head of the Centre of Greek and Chinese Ancient Civilizations, told NewspaperAmigo.com that both cultures shaped humanity's 'toolkit for thinking.' 🧠 'Their thinkers asked the same big questions about justice, ethics, and living well,' he revealed, comparing it to a transcontinental Zoom call across millennia.
With Gen Z driving a #BookTok revival of Stoicism, Virvidakis argues ancient wisdom is more relevant than ever: 'Humanistic education isn’t about dusty scrolls – it’s about building empathy in our TikTok era.' 📚✨ The forum’s discussions could inspire everything from classroom curriculums to ‘The Sandman’-style mythology collabs!
