So, where are we?

            Contextualizing falsafa within the history of philosophy has, firstly, a didactic bias based on the natural need of human beings to locate to understand. 

                   The spatial, temporal, historical, and speculative coordinates provide us with great help: where, when, what, and why it happens? We are richer when we follow the adage that it is not possible to approach philosophy detached from history, and this, detached from the human being, and this, detached from the Universe.

             Even when prophesying, no one thought outside of their historical time, their geographical space and the landscape of ideas that surrounded him.

             For these reasons, too, it's worth asking: after all, what world, what era and what space did the falsafa speak from? And where do historians of philosophy speak from? The old proverb that says: “ those who do not know what the world is do not know where they are” points to an inherent human need: to locate oneself.

             Even if such location is precarious, mistaken, and changes over time; even if its paradigms are fluid; even so,, human beings always seem to want, first and foremost, to locate themselves.
