[01] Pavlopoulos-The ancient Greek spirit can help defend our culture
"The ancient Greek spirit can help the people today to defend our
endangered culture," Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos said on Monday
in his address at an international conference entitled "Ancient Greece
and the modern world."
"The ancient Greek spirit essentially created the modern western
culture, because it was the ancient Greek spirit that gradually turned
information into knowledge and knowledge into wisdom, therefore created
science. It freed man from the legend, freed from the dogmas and learned
the relativity and the questioning of any scientific discovery. In other
words, it opened the way for contemporary creation," said the President.
"This invaluable contribution of the ancient Greek spirit can help people
today to defend our culture at risk," Pavlopoulos stressed.
