I hate when people insist that languages direct thoughts to some incredible degree. Doesn’t it detract from the importance of the work if you say that it somehow just reflects the way the language itself works? I don’t think anybody is truly making that argument about a “Western” civilisation, although Ancient Greeks are surely almost just as foreign to us as Ancient Chinese.
