This reflection explores the distinction between the act of meaning and the object meant within the pre-conceptual, narrative stage of human thought. In the mythical era, mutual understanding was based on individuals relating to the same "intended" reality through diverse narratives. However, this connection remained intuitive and imprecise, preventing systematic analysis and allowing contradictory myths to coexist. The emergence of conceptual thought and early logic transformed this situation by enabling the rigorous examination of compatibility between different claims. Influenced by geometry and mathematics, early philosophy initially focused on abstract objects like numbers and shapes, leaving human and political life to traditional wisdom. It was only later, notably through the Sophists, that these topics were reinterpreted philosophically. The pivotal contribution came from Socrates and Plato, who integrated human affairs into philosophy while maintaining strict intellectual standards. The text thus traces the shift from narrative intuition to rational consistency and the gradual expansion of philosophical inquiry to encompass the complexities of human existence.
