{{Note}} There is an important difference between the prehistory of a ''theory'' vs. the prehistory of a ''topic''. :
* The prehistory of a '''topic''' covers ''all'' major attempts to answer the question, i.e. a topic’s prehistory aims to answer the question “who said what on that topic?”
* The prehistory of a '''theory''' must credit only those philosophers who had a similar idea. A theory’s prehistory addresses the question “who else had ideas similar to the ones expressed by the theory?” A theory’s prehistory therefore is not an opportune place to reiterate everything that has been already said in the topic’s prehistory.
