| 1 | 1999 | Gregory Blue : David Hume believed that the Chinese had the greatest uniformity of character imaginable, and he accounted for this in terms of their common language and their country’s geography. In his view, the natural divisions of Europe, and originally of Greece, had resulted at one lvel in a variety of political regimes and at another in achievement in the sciences and arts, whereas the lack of geographical dividions in China had led to stagnation in the sciences. |
