Enlightenment, Secularism, Empowerment, Fundamentalism are not product of religion-free mind but they came to the scene in the west to challenge and overcome the wrongs done in name of Christianity. When Nietzsche said God is dead, he referred to God in the Bible.
Female education is not because of European enlightenment. It is not because of any philosophy. Negation of nudity doesn't mean negation of development of any kind. Progress is a continuous process since the advent of Adam. Today has not dropped suddenly from the tree. Each and every series of human efforts of the past is the result of today. Today shall become yesterday tomorrow. Therefore past and present are intertwined. Progressiveness ,modernity are rhetorical gimmick.
…
If anyone want to be rational he must calculate the neat result. Everyone has the inborn capacity to move forward. No one can be stand still.
Orthodoxy is another confusing term. Everyone is classical from his stand. From Socrates to Voltaire everyone were falsified by each other. American neoconservatives currently falsifying their master Rousseau.
….
Women literacy rate has been increasing does not mean the statistics of molestation is decreasing. The statistics of women employment is increasing does not mean modern day slavery is decreasing. The UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime reports that human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world . “A new survey found that one in three women between the ages of 18-34 has been sexually harassed at work” is not ok.
….
Sunita Williams is ok but “Violence against women has become a prominent topic of discussion in India in recent years. Politicians and media have placed great focus on the issue due to continuously increasing trends during 2008–2012” is not ok. It is to be assessed how many Sunita Williams are molested in comparison between one rocket Sunita William.
…….
Women increased literacy rate is ok but “ The U.K. has one of the highest teenage birth rates in Europe with a rate of 26.4 teenage births per 1,000 women aged 15–19 in 2006, down from 27.9 births in 2001. The U.K. also has a higher rate of abortion than most European countries” is not ok.
.......
Human trafficking, slavery, promiscuity existed since after the advent of Adam. No Europe did not define what to do what not. It was defined by religion and remember religion taught us morality,honesty, justice.
…..
Socrates often mentions that he is guided by a daemon, a kind of divine spirit, oracle, or “sign,” that takes the form of an inner voice or non-vocal nudge. …. Plato speaks of "the gods (hoi theoi), or "the god (ho theos)", in some cases of "god", but then in the same way we would talk of "man", using the word as a generic name. He also speaks of "the divine (to theion).
…..
In the Ethics Spinoza argues that there is only one substance, which is absolutely infinite, self-caused, and eternal.
……
Aristotle presents his doctrine of god as the first unmoved mover as the crown of his metaphysics, and thus of .... more often, the adjective. "divine". (theios). Aristotle "that there must be an immortal, unchanging being, ultimately responsible for all wholeness and orderliness in the sensible world".
….
My little touch on the fathers of Hellenic philosophy is to prove that European philosophy has been evolving on Christianity ever since.
European Kings were understood as the divine guidance appointed by biblical God. Churches were to approve kings as divine leader. But misrule of the kings made people confused.Moreover Galileo , Kepler made scientific observations what was about to devastate misinterpreted verses of Biblical religion.
……..
As a result Protestantism started to grow in the mind of European people. Come on before understanding development or evolution of European mind we have to know their historical events.
.....
When man made God representatives made chaos European mind did revolt. Christianity created different branches of chaotic misinterpretations. Being kings were absolutely guided by the churches thus people were ruled by theses clergymen. So called divinely selected corrupted kings. Mind it ,we are talking on European kings not oriental kings.
……….
Thomas Hobbes stepped in, he brought leviathan ideology. Leviathan is a powerful animal of Old Testament. He proposed a powerful authority alike leviathan to replace divinely selected corrupt rulers. After him John Locke proposed another formation of power that can protect people's life ,liberty and property . Here he is talking about human,s divine right as his liberty.
…………
His principle is taken by Jefferson to constitute American Bills of Right. Locke was talking about natural right or inborn right, that is divine right ,that is religious right. Where Hobbs entrusted power at the hand of the Leviathan there Locke said power would be in the hand of people. Then Montesquieu arrived and proposed separated judiciary,legislation and government.
………..
Now what Voltaire did? He simply separated churches corrupted divine ruler from people's government. He called it secularism to avoid misrule of the churches. This is totally European phenomenon.
………..
In comparison to Europe , rest of the world was never detected by any God agent. European God agents had the power to issue rules and regulations of their own. Even Islamic world was not dictated by God agents . Secularism is not what is described today. It was a must to replace churches monopoly on governing people.
.......
Enlightenment was the consequence purely against European Christianisation . In order to retaliate the movement it were the churches who prescribed five basic doctrines of Christianity cannot be questioned. That is why fundamentalism is pure a western product.
