The change in thought, science, and technology since the time of the ancient thinkers has been enormous; however, there remain many aspects of ancient Grecian technology that cannot yet be reproduced. In areas of pure intellect, where only power of the mind has any effect, we still lag behind, and designs and plans sketched on age-old parchments cannot be recreated even today. The field of philosophy is different; all messages have the potential to be experienced and learned regardless of the setting. Therefore the degeneration of modern thought cannot be attributed solely to the superior intellects of the past, but we can learn a great deal from their works and try to return to their levels.
