Babelio.com: Every Monday we introduce to you a reader that we have met by chance on the street. Today Redouane B. was darting across Paris' North Station holding in his hand 'The Secret of the West, towards a general theory of scientific progress' by David Cosandey. "I discovered this book on an online media that is politically oriented, but that I like to follow: ThinkerView. [Webmaster comment: the interview of Éric Denécé on 11 Sep 2019.] The author was quoted at the end of an interview about his thesis on the evolution of different civilizations throughout history, with the question of departure: why has Western civilization long been considered the most advanced and developed? I've read a hundred pages, in which he reviews cultural, religious, ethnic and climate analyses of the evolution of different civilizations compared to the West. What I find interesting is that his analyses always start from precise historical facts. So I recommend this book to those who are interested in the subject." #mondayreader #davidcosandey
