L'écriture de l'histoire de la philosophie occidentale n'est pas neutre : une Grèce prétendument fondatrice à l'exclusion des pensées qui la précèdent dans le temps ; une domination idéaliste, notamment platonicienne ; une tradition qui poursuit ce parti-pris avec le spiritualisme chrétien et l'idéal allemand - l'historiographie dominante est nettement platonicienne. Or, on peut proposer une contre-histoire de la philosophie qui se soucie d'un autre lignage : matérialiste, hédoniste, nominaliste, athée, sensualiste, empirique, etc. Et s'y inscrire avec le souci d'une pensée systématique.
