Abstract

Rational thought constitutes the axis around which philosophy revolves, in the sense of seeking the bases that support our beliefs. This desire is prior to philosophical reflection and is anchored in the evolution and survival of our species. Intelligence is a natural phenomenon that allows the systems that have it to take advantage of the information they have about the environment, increase it, in short, learn. In this continuous process of inquiry, we arrive, with the passage of time, at forms of knowledge and cultural production such as mythology, science and philosophy.
