ABSTRACT
The history of the human could be related in terms of being first one, a single encompassing/encompassed unit, then two, the child and his mother, but two is three, and then at least four, then one in the midst of a multitude from whom he must differentiate himself as best he can; or, alternatively, it could be seen as an undifferentiated sphere, though one that is already marked by differences, with a perceiving, enjoying and suffering body; or again as an inextricable mixture of everything and nothing.
