Resumen

STRAUSS, Leo. Jerusalem and Athens. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2013, vol.36, n.56, pp.15-47. ISSN 0101-3106.

The author critically examines the two great traditions which mostly contributed to the making of Western culture: on one hand the Bible, which gave origin to Judaism, Christianity and Islamism - the three religions of the Book, on the other philosophy, invented in Ancient Greece and developed up to the present day. He argues that our contemporary world can only be properly understood in the light of this past.
