书名：What is the West?
作者：Philippe Nemo
简介：In this short, illuminating and very readable work, Philippe Nemo argues that what we call "the West" is one and only one cultural entity, to which both North American and Western Europe belong. In contemporary debates, then, Nemo asserts, it is simply incorrect to exaggerate the differences or gaps between countries that are indeed "Western." Brilliantly and succinctly surveying the last five or six millenia, Nemo pieces together the history of the West’s development. He weaves together political events, philosophical discoveries, religious movements, and scientific and technological innovations to demonstrate the factors that have influenced and shaped Western culture. Nemo acknowledges the essential contributions of Greek science and philosophy, Roman law, Christian thought and modern democratic revolutions to our contemporary liberal democracies. In his conclusion, Nemo also presents a case for closer geopolitical cooperation among Western societies. Already translated from the original French into Portuguese, Italian, German and Greek, What is the West?
