Idealism versus Materialism
Hermead Epic of Philosophers is the Great American Epic because it presents the foundation of western civilization in the lives and ideas of 26 ancient philosophers as the argument between Idealism of Plato and Materialism of Epicurus as the origin of the political conflict between capitalism and socialism.
Idealism of Plato describes the linguistic psychology of the human brain which designs ideas of things with words.
Materialism of Epicurus describes the physical chemistry of the universe composed of atoms.
