The Ancient Roots of Western Self-Criticism

Recommendable! 

It is very curious why this article omitted to mention Socrates (470 – 399 BC). It was he who stated “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” Such humbleness and humility. It was him who refused the opportunity to escape from his death sentence by drinking the poison. He obeyed the law although he knew it was flawed!

The Ancient Roots of Western Self-Criticism "The West’s enduring success is rooted in its awareness of its own faults and constant striving to be better."
