A FAR MORE ACCURATE PERCEPTION OF HISTORY.
ANIMIST AND POLYTHEIST RELIGIONS DEPICTED THE WORLD
AS THE PLAYGROUND OF NUMEROUS DIFFERENT POWERS RATHER THAN A SINGLE GOD.
IT WAS CONSEQUENTLY EASY FOR ANIMISTS AND POLYTHEISTS TO ACCEPT THAT MANY EVENTS
ARE UNRELATED TO ME OR TO MY FAVOURITE DEITY, AND THEY ARE NEITHER PUNISHMENTS FOR MY SINS
NOR REWARDS FOR MY GOOD DEEDS. GREEK HISTORIANS SUCH AS HERODOTUS AND THUCIDIDES, AND
CHINESE HISTORIANS SUCH AS SIMA QIAN, DEVELOPED SOPHISTICATED THEORIES OF HISTORY THAT
ARE VERY SIMILAR TO OUR OWN MODERN VIEWS. They explained that wars and evolutions break out
due to myriad political, social & economic factors. People may fall victim to a war
through no fault of their own! Accordingly, Herodotus developed keen interest
in understanding Persian politics, while
Sima QIAN was very concerned
about the culture & religion of
barbarous steppe
people.
