First sentence: The concept of tradition has a long and overdetermined history in the descent of Western thought, articulated first in classical thought from Socrates to Lucretius as a sacred past with which philosophy must rupture in order to gain access to its truth-an account framed, that is, in the 'ancient quarrel' between logos and mythos itself.
