With the collapse of the Ming dynasty in 1644, China came under the rule of foreign invaders again. The
Manchu 16 were essentially the same people as the Ruzhen who had established Jin dynasty in north China 500 years
ago. Despite their 17 origin, the Manchus had long admired China and adapted important aspects of the Ming imperial
system in their new dynasty, the Qing dynasty. The Qing emperors were determined to be 18 legitimate rulers
rather than resented as usurpers to the throne. In the face of domestic 19 , prolonged armed resistance, and Chinese
antipathy toward invading “barbarians,” they managed to rule. They succeeded in 20 authority and revitalizing the state.
Indeed, the Qing dynasty came to represent the most successful synthesis in Chinese history of Chinese and non-Chinese
institutions, lasting nearly 300 years until the institution of imperial rule was overthrown by revolution in 1911.

The Greeks invented philosophy. The word itself comes from the Greek, meaning “love of wisdom.” From the sixth
century B.C.E. until the fourth century B.C.E., Greek thinkers throughout the Hellenic world started addressing a wide range of
questions about the nature of the universe and the meaning of life.
It is a mystery why the Greeks, beginning around the sixth century B.C.E., were the first to pursue sustained philosophical
inquiry. But since they lacked palace bureaucracies or professional priests, no vested interests stood opposed to free speculation
and observation. In addition, because literacy was widespread—owing to the simplified Greek alphabet—and because new
military tactics and governmental institutions gradually strengthened their ideals of equality, the Greeks came to believe that
they were different from others, especially their Persian neighbors, and began ever more to speculate on the reasons for the
differences. Finally, their relative indifference to material needs and the availability of leisure time offered the Greeks
unprecedented opportunities for reflection.
