Western civilisation, built on Christians tenets of equality in the image of God, is universalist. Everyone can participate in it and contribute to it. Western civilisation is uniquely non-racist, non-sexist. It's uniquely about truth, character and constant self-examination. In a word, it's the most humain civilisation.
Look at who attacks it and why to see the truth of the above characterisation.
Quite so. Built on Greek tenants, Romans, Persians, Jews. A bit of the Norse, the Normans, Saxons, you name it. The Arabs and Chows have contributed, Johnny Turk, the Curries. The Silk Road, the Spice Isle, the bridges in between. The songs and stories on the way. Western civilisation is universal. One in, all in. Exactly. They are all particularists, nationalists, tribal. Nevertheless they all point to a universalism which then unfolds in Christian civilisation. Christianity is a universal civilisation even if you are not a Christian yourself. It is a universally defining phenomenon like no other precisely because it is not particularist, nationalist, tribal, male or female, white or black, or any other segmentation. And that's just the empirical truth of it, even before you confess any faith. How on earth did you get that from what he said? It is self-evident, if you think about it. V. S. Naipaul: Our Universal Civilization Sir V.S. NaipaulOn October 30, 1990, V. S. Naipaul, considered by many to be the greatest living English-language novelist at that time, delivered the fourth annual Walter B. Wriston lecture in Public Policy, sponsored by the Manhattan Institute. Naipaul took as his subject the “universal civilization” to which the Western values of tolerance, individualism, equality, and personal liberty have given birth. He described the personal and philosophical turmoil of those who find themselves torn between their native civilizations and the values of universal civilization. We are pleased to present his remarks here in full. https://www.city-journal.org/html/our-universal-civilization-12753.html Oh, you preening, pontificating agit-prop pwopagandist. VS Naipul's a devout agnostic. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/11/obituaries/vs-naipaul-dead-author-nobel-prize...The “universal civilization” - the "Western values of tolerance, individualism, equality, and personal liberty" is the giveaway. All of these are values you despise. That doesn't stop you mendaciously pillaging the views of the tinted races to score the cheapest of points. Take your ten rupees, old boy. You've earned it. When you're done with the Boongs and the Muselman and the Chows, you can move onto Curries like V.S. You are squirming like a a cut snake. Sorry, old chap? Do you have a Gandhi quote for us too? Something about Hindu civilisation would be nice, and most in keeping with your newly professed views. Cheers.
