So enables a society or civilization to breed philosophers and philosophies, /his/?
Why did nations like Egypt, Persia, Greece, the Mongols, France, and America breed philosophers whereas others like Zulus, Aztecs, Carthage, and (independent) Scotland did not?
>>314611
they probably did breed philosophers. Then they were forgotten due to the lack of writing or loss/destruction of said writing.
Other than that, probably luck.
Only Greece had great Philosophers. Maybe China before the Emperor of Qin decided to destroy philosophy schools,

Do you have down syndrome?

Just spitballing here family
>Zulus
nogs, 85, a myriad of other reasons
>Aztecs
writing/language wasn't advanced enough
>Carthage
loved monies and trade too much
>independent Scotland
Not metropolitan enough
>>314630
Greek philosophers often cited influence from Egyptian stories and religious ideas as the basis for philosophy, while the Mongol court actively promoted different schools of philosophy, the favored being Tibetan Buddhism.
>>314649
If loving money and trade too much prevents you from forming philosophy, then why do the Jews have some of the most-advanced codices of thought in the world?

Scotland, Carthage and the Aztecs did.
The Zulus literally only existed for 200 years because no one lived in South Africa before 1500
>>314701
Fair enough on the Zulus, but the fact that they forged such a complex military system always made my mind spin on the fact that they were so limited otherwise.
Provide sources on those three civs having philosophy?

For Carthage

And The guy who invented how we think about Time, St. Augustine of Hippo
For Scotland
>https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hume
That's all you need because that guy was seminal as fuck. The enlightenment literally came from Scotland first
From Aztecs

Europe, Asia, and the Middle East (and areas influenced by each) arguably had their own primary cultures as a result of the time of their existence. Other areas, however, did no have enough time to reach this level of development until other cultures began influencing their own.
Also, I should note that local resources + time = development.

That dude was from post-Union Scotland. I mean, there's a huge amount of Irish monks and priests with doubtless influence on academia, but we see nothing like that with independent "MA FREEDUMB" Scotland.
Augustine came long after Carthage as a civilization (even though they still spoke Punic at that time) but fair enough on the other two. Have another Rare Philosopher in return.

If you knew that, you should know what Alexandria he's talking about. It'd be the first one to come up in google, you smartass.

They are, but since we are tallying up the achivements of two agricultural states they do not matter

>All adopted children have Iq problems you fucking dumbass
except for white and Asian ones apparently. Look at the data.
Cognitive dissonance hurts bro. I empathize completely. This pill is biter.

The scores for Asians include South Asians.
Which are like half of Asians in the US. And have a predicted IQ of like 85 abroad.

>>314914
this isn't evidence that race causes IQ differences.
not unless you can control for differences in environment.
>>314852
This is a map of estimates made by Richard Lynn who himself came up with the hypothesis that races differed in IQ.
You can't post the estimates as evidence for themselves.

A philosopher builds an overarching analytic philosophic system not just thinks ideas up and shitposts them.
Plato was the first actual philosopher in human history.

Egyptian philosophy influenced Greek/Roman philosophy, as well as Jewish, Christian and Muslim philosophy, just to name a few.

They had mystics for that role.
Philosophy occurs in societies mysticism was greatly prevalent, as it allowed it to develop, and we began to call this more advanced shit philosophy.
