A synthesis in five points

What follows is a synthesis that does not mean “a summary”; rather, it is an attempt to review the whole history of philosophy from an interpretative point of view, that is trying to understand where we are going now. Therefore it is not about repeating the previous chapters in a shorter way, but about reconsidering everything from useful perspectives. This means that an attempt of synthesis can make us discover things that in the more detailed treatment could have been so implicit and hidden as to be completely invisible.
