Question from an ignoramus (me): What were the sources/manuscripts from which we know of Socrates/Plato/Aristotle? Were they ever lost and 'rediscovered'? Were their commentaries on them throughout the ages continually?
So preserved by Christian monks? But then, was it a case of rediscovery later or was the discourse on these philosophers nearly continuous? I'm asking because of the case in India of the Arthashastra, which was 'rediscovered' in the 19th century.

Interesting. It's why they had to keep contending with it I guess.

How did they justify resorting to 'kaafir' concepts at the base of their theology?
