I finally finished the first chapter!!
This chapter was easier to understand than I thought and it was pretty interesting.
It basically talks about the difference between ancient Greece and ancient China.
In Greece, the personal liberty was important while the community and society were concerned in China. I thought this was interesting because I think this has effects on today's world that Chinese and other asians are tend to be in groups than the people from other parts of the world.
The part that says "the lacked logic and principle of contradiction made a little progress in geometry" interested me too because I hadn't thought the way of thinking and math are related.
I now understand the meaning of the Sign of the Tao, which was the sign I have seen in everywhere. To my shame, I didn't know that it was from China.
The chapter was looong... it will be hard for me to finish this book:(
I hope I can be a fast reader through the ELP.
