Here is what the fabricated history of ‘Western Philosophy’ looks like - just one of the problems: not the continuous story it typically claims to be!

… vs some of the many figures (incl women) in Byzantium, the Islamic world, & Latin Christendom in the 600-year ‘gap’. That’s only focusing on traditions centrally responding to the Greeks. (There’s lots of philosophical activity in e.g. East/South Asia not represented here!)

For a challenge to the origin story of ‘Western Philosophy’, see my paper on Thales, available open access at doi.org/10.1080/096087… in British Journal for the History of Philosophy - building on work with Josh Platzky Miller
