@Brother Ibrahim,
salam. You must have meant, Greek peripatetic school, the idea of Europe dawned much later, during the first muslim invasion of Europe in 8th century. However the intellectualism that Greek city states produced was lost as quickly as the flutter of an athenian woman, only to be replaced with totalitarian doctrines. The early arab philosophers who were intellectually homed in greek and roman sciences could not have pulled together any treatise on mathematics or astronomy of worth had not the indian and arab mathamaticians pieced together the various geographical and logical problems. In that sense knowledge is a social construct whose meaning is subject to experience and context, not to be found by straddling the fence of capitalism and its criticism. Edward Said, believed that there is no real orient to fight for, only contesting aaccounts of the orient. European intellectualism is that transition narrative of orientalism, we still carry on.
