An example of a "tradition of men" would be Luther's doctrine of Sola Scriptura, which isn't found in the Bible.
Classical Greek philosophy would not be a good example of a bad human tradition, since the great Greek philosophers served truth, i.e., they served Jesus, implicitly.
Your philosophy is vanity, built on man's failed wisdom...
St. Paul believed that the Greeks were worshipping the One, True God, albeit with imperfect knowledge.
Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? You are bringing some strange ideas to our ears, and we would like to know what they mean.” (All the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas.)The Greeks had reasoned to the existence of God, but were ignorant of Christ, through no fault of their own. Then Paul preached Christ to them.Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.
St. Thomas and the other Scholastics sythesized Aristotelian philosophy and Christian Revelation to create the perennial Scholastic school of philosophy.
Every man is a philosopher, either good or bad. One cannot remain philosophically neutral. While the Church does not hold up a particular school of philosophy as binding on the conscience of Catholics, Scholasticism is the predominant philosophical school within Catholicism, and has withstood the test of time.
Of course it's found in the scriptures...Seems a wise man would recognize that the people who put little faith in and do not actually study the bible take your position; while those who pour thru the bible day after day, week after week, KNOW that scripture alone is of the bible???

Now there's a great philosophy...
In other words, they have gotten a very few things right, luckily...They however did not know Jesus...They did not know truth...

No he didn't...He found one obscure god amongst the many gods they had that adorned the place which has been labled as the unknown god...They did not all worship this god and maybe none of them did...It could have been from times past...
Every man is a philosopher, either good or bad. One cannot remain philosophically neutral.
HaHaHa...What philosopher taught you that???
Yours is a bad attempt to discount plain scripture and justify what Jesus taught against...
