A scholar wrote about Greek philosopher that they were the ones who introduced "the calm light of divine reason to a world governed by blind instinct and savage superstition." But i would say the Eastern philosophers like Buddha were superior to their western counterparts. Greek philosophers were often given to wild speculation. A child of today, in whose mind an esteem for Greek philosophy has not yet been implanted, would laugh at some of the things they said. But eastern philosophy was the first true ray of that calm light of divine reason. The tangible representation of the truth that everyone experiences but doesnt realize. Their words are just as true today as they were 2500 years ago. While western religions have come to be associated with weakness, eastern heritage is still associated with the all encompassing power of calm reasoning.
