If it weren't for Western philosophy, the modern world would not exist. Most of the present population would not be alive, and those who were would almost all be peasant farmers who were illiterate, got married as soon as they were biologically able to produce children, half their children would die in infancy or childhood, and they themselves would likely die around the age of 45, if not earlier from the regular epidemics and famines.

And why are you not aware of all this?
