Description

"This isn't anything new.
Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn't see their thoughts as belonging to them. When ancient Greeks had a thought, it occurred to them as a god or goddess giving an order. Apollo was telling them to be brave. Athena was telling them to fall in love.
Now people hear a commercial for sour cream potato chips and rush out to buy, but now they call this free will.
At least the ancient Greeks were being honest (...)"

Rien de ceci n'est bien neuf.
Les experts de la culture grecque antique disent que les gens à l’époque ne voyaient pas leurs pensées comme leur appartenant en propre.
Quand une pensée traversait l’esprit des Grecs de l’Antiquité, ils y voyaient un ordre que leur donnaient un dieu ou une déesse. Apollon leur disait d’être brave. Athéna leur disait de tomber amoureux.
Aujourd’hui, les gens entendent une publicité vantant des chips à la crème aigre et ils se précipitent pour les acheter, mais aujourd’hui, ils appellent ça le libre arbitre.
Les grecs de l'Antiquité, eux, au moins, se montraient honnêtes.
