The man and the philosopher (four perspectives)

Abstract

Various data manifest how several centuries before Christ in India, in China, around Greece, appeared a certain kind of thought that constituted novelty in the world.

There were in the various societies people who, with his word, his life, his works referred to the whole explicitness of the world and of life, to the enlightenment of the being that surrounds everything and in one way or another is everywhere, to the timeless truth that is somehow accessible to men and which is presented covered with varied historical garments. Poets, artists, heroes, saints and prophets achieved with their word, their lives, their works, their sentences rise above what we can call particular worldly interests.

In those early centuries of history some sages stood out from among those, by virtue of the concepts and oppressions that, through them, they attained, constituting their own way of beginning to understand, to communicate, to live. 

Something is known about those times. A lot is ignored. Certain sentences attributed to wise men show high human archetypes, who have life experience, know how to treat others, maintain some differentiation from the common world.

Of the various places on earth where this wise thought of the beginning is given, Greece will stand out, it will have experience of life, they know how to treat others, they maintain some differentiation from the common world.
