This chapter tells us many differences about the way of thinking between Greece and China. It was interesting to know that Greeks emphasized on themselves as individuals while Chinese on harmony of humans. To me, the meaning of the sign of the Tao was surprising. I had seen the sign many times in my life but didn't even know that it came from China.
To be honest, I only understood the last half of this chapter where it comes to science and mathematics in Greece and China. It's maybe because I'm not so used to read about philosophy since I mainly studied science in high school. I want to read it again after I read the next chapter (if I still have power to do so).
