     Thought can never be subsumed under or tethered to the
history of thought; Philosophy can never be subsumed under or
tethered to the history of philosophy.  Thought is activity.
History is representation.  It is a paradox that thought must
be consequence and expression of its history, but that
nonetheless thought as activity is immune to and incompatible
with the representation of that history.  Thought implicitly
recapitulates its past which it both summarizes and leaves
behind.
