Abstract: Abstract During the fifth and the early fourth centuries B. C., Greek philosophers developed rational thinking in many fields such as epistemology, anthropology, sociology, religion, and politics. Despite the popular belief that the traditional Greek society provided the influential sources for rationalists, Greek thinkers, Protagoras, Gorgias, Antiphon, Critias, and others were mainly influenced by Buddhist and other Indian rationalist thinking that was prevalent in India prior to the rise of the Greek philosophical movement. That link persisted in Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero. This chapter analyzes the links between Indian philosophy and the Greek philosophy, and Christianity.
