TRUTH AND LIES
Complete understanding requires truth at its foundation. Where truth is not, lies are. So is it with this discussion of "soul" which attributes its conceptualization to Greeks, when, in fact, Greeks themselves say that such knowledge as they may have then had, itself, had come from ancient Egypt, where they traveled in droves to learn, live, propagate back to Greece, what Greeks' society viewed as "foreign ideas," African teachings which "corrupt youth." Such ideas condemned Socrates to death , says Plato. But to attribute ancient philosophy to Egyptians, who predate Greeks by 10,000 years, at least, according to Plato, would undermine the racist notion of white supremacy upon which much of the bases of European civilization, since early 18th century is falsely founded, now flounders!The article from wikipedia that is linked below carries forward this truth and lies scenario in false attribution. When Egypt is briefly mentioned, it is under "religion" not "philosophy" and is mixed in with others, in a further attempt at dilution of its primal impact upon all the earth, and by extension, Africa's.
