Discipline: Philosophy, Cultural Studies
It is perhaps not a truism that the ancient thinkers developed speculative philosophy because they were born during a special period of tranquility, that they were born in a place with such a conducive and favorable atmosphere providing fertile air for speculative thinking. It is not true, perhaps, that these· classical thinkers were to be classified as speculative philosophers in the sense that their ideas were all founded on the first principle. For there was, at feast, one group of thinkers in the East which evolved and bloomed in a different condition of time. And, of course, one needs just but one instance of deviation to prove a universal categorical proposition to be wrong.
