The question of the definition of man is very old. Its origin in time is very little known. This is due to the difficult universalization of the theories that determine his knowledge.

It is marked by his permanent desire to understand the message engraved on the pediment of the temple of Delphi, from which the famous formula of "know thyself" is taken. His reflection gave rise to an awareness of his ignorance. And it is it which disposes him to know the things and to practice the virtue.
