What is the Greek and Greek tradition?

The two Greek traditions refer to the Greek tradition and the Hebrew tradition of Western civilization.

Western civilization is basically composed of two subcultures, one is the Greek tradition and the other is the Hebrew tradition. They were originally two different cultural traditions formed in two different societies. Later, the Roman Empire successively annexed Greece and the Middle East, so the two cultures were incorporated into one society. Hebrew culture as a whole is the culture created by the Hebrews (that is, the Jews). Hebrew culture has had a great influence on Europe in the Middle Ages and even today.

The ideal person in Hebrew culture is a person of faith. In the case of Greek culture, at least in the final philosophical expressions of its two greatest philosophers, Plato and Aristotle, the ideal man was the rational man, and the one who stood above him must have been the and the philosopher of the spectator of all existence.

People of faith are complete and concrete people. Hebrew culture does not look at universal or abstract people; it always sees concrete, specific, individual people. The Greeks, on the other hand, were the first thinkers in history to discover universal, abstract, and timeless essences, forms, and ideas. The ecstasy brought by this discovery (which only marked the earliest emergence and differentiation of rational functions) made Plato believe that man can only live in eternity.
