> Ahead of its time. > First posited by Pythagoreans 2600 years ago, and by various other people in the centuries since. > Centuries older than Christianity, Islam, and Rabbinic Judaism. It's not ahead of its time. Instead, it's a very old concept that is manifestly disfavored because it doesn't work as a folk metaphysics. (i.e. as something that the common man can understand with ease, which provides him with an explanation of the world.) It also doesn't work, within reasonable bounds, as the foundation of an ethical system. |
