essay on evolution of western civilization
En nuestra cultura occidental, la racionalización se impone a la religión y a las costumbres, y además tiene varias peculiaridades de las que carecen las demás: una de las más notables es la constante autocrítica, que entre otras cosas ha sido capaz de llevar a la abolición de la esclavitud, establecer los principios de los derechos humanos, los de la mujer, la igualdad de las razas, tener la vida como un valor fundamental, y un largo etcétera. Ninguna otra civilización ha aportado tanto a la evolución de los derechos de las personas, y ***es incluso a regañadientes como se incorporan a los mismos.
