The Development of Modern Steel, Concrete, & Asphalt Required Scientific Truth. The Same Holds For These Cars, Steel Posts, Concrete Walks, Asphalt Streets, and Brick Buildings.

….. Indeed, The Same Holds For The University Itself, and the Whole of Western Man. These Likewise Require the Operation of Truth!

…[In 2.5 pages, the ZMM Narrator covers what Phaedrus discovered about the Sophists and Pre-Socratic Greek History. The Narrator relates why and how the early Greek Philosophers, in the “first conscious search for what was imperishable in the affairs of men, suppressed and discredited the Sophists“.
...We are told of Phaedrus’s discovery of the following passage in a small book called “The Greeks” by H. D. F. Kitto. Then continues =>]
…“The resolution of the arguments of the Cosmologists came from a new direction entirely, from a group Phædrus seemed to feel were early humanists They were teachers, but what they sought to teach was not principles, but beliefs of men. Their object was not any single absolute truth, but the improvement of men. All principles, all truths, are relative, they said. "Man is the measure of all things. .. These were the famous teachers of "wisdom," the Sophists of ancient Greece." ”
…[Phaedrus discovered there was a war between those who believe in absolute truth and those who believe in only relative truth. The Narrator finishes with:]
…“The results of Socrates’ martyrdom and Plato’s unexcelled prose that followed are nothing less than the whole world of Western man as we know it. If the idea of truth had been allowed to perish unrediscovered by the Renaissance it’s unlikely that we would be much beyond the level of prehistoric man today. The ideas of science and technology and other systematically organized efforts of man are dead-centered on it. It is the nucleus of it all.” (University of Chicago Cont Next)
