Marco Polo Radical Centrist Hero He lived a life of adventure; he was a man of action. He understood that experience is necessary for any kind of valuable education. He sought wisdom from almost all the countries of the world He sought to help the East understand the West and the West understand the East He tried to observe everything he saw as objectively as possible for a man of his era He was a committed Christian but someone who could see value in Buddhism and Hinduism and at the same time, while he was open to co-operation with individual Muslims, he recognized the criminal nature of Islam and the fact that it was founded on anti-Christian principles. He had few biases toward Jews; for his time he was very tolerant. He was a merchant who sought profit in what we might call a free trade market; at the same time he saw the advantages in the state system at the center of Kublai Khan's rule. He researched everything he could. He thought for himself.
