The guy who taught me about the ancient Greeks was Dr Shapiro at San Jose State. He was one of my best professors ever.

He not only taught about the Greeks in a totally honest way, he understood their thinking and curiosity.

I was sooo rough in those days I could barely spell my name. But he saw I had an understanding and curiosity about the Greeks and he gave me an A despite my terrible English.

He judged me on my understanding of the ideas.

Guy sort of changed my life. San Jose had a fine philosophy Dept as they had many fine philosophy professors. Birds of a feather, clinging together, sort of thing.

He should me there was a much larger world to understand.

SJS had a fine eastern philosophy dept too. Eastern philosophy is different and deeper, but esoteric.

The Greeks thought about how to organize a society.
