I think there was some tension between "fertile" and "productive". . . If you leaned to productive, I get saying Modernist period wins. I paused between Modernist and Enlightenment, but thought of rule of law and Newtonian mechanics as particularly fertile.

'west at it's best'? Quite an ahistorical framing of qn too. Each period saw an intellectual tradition that was a reaction to specific socio economic conditions of it's time. Just bcos 'only' 11% think it's 'fertile and productive' doesn't diminish it's *relevance* today
