There is in human thought made of ideals and logical principles in which come discourse and analogy thought, there is an individual who thinks by inductions and inferences, while being involved in a world of universal thought. logico-classificatory type! When the anthropologist Philippe Descola in his work: "Beyond Nature and Culture" evokes "the Schemes of Thought" according to his experience and his field of ethnology among the Achuar, thought at work among these first peoples : He can deduce ontological similarities and differences composed of interiorities and physicalities!
