[QUOTE="Hans Blaster, post: 77658264, member: 396028"] It is weird that Bloom thinks that ancient Indian and Near EAST literature is part of the WESTERN canon as they are not products of the "West". No, you are talking about Christian values while ignoring the base western material (Greece & Rome). Oh, good grief. You've fallen for some weird Christian propaganda about the bible. This is simply not true. Books existed before the bible and many books existed at the same time throughout its entire existence. So much so, that the "golden rule" existed in Western civilization *before* Christianity. (And every other civilization out there has some form of it.) Now briefly on to Jordan Peterson, crank, A peddler of self-help pablum. It is almost shocking he rose to fame outside the Oprah-sphere. Maybe he should stayed an academic then if his career was so strong. I'm not a pyschologist, so I have no way of evaluating his professional work, but I am capable of evaluating his dire cultural and political commentary. I do have a problem with Jordan and I don't read or view his content any more. It still makes no sense to put non-Western texts into the Western canon of literature, but either way it won't help with your arguments. [/QUOTE]
