Ideas have a place in the setting in which they are formed. Often this
setting is in the past. Writing from the past allows us to share an idea
with a person who lived before us.\selectlanguage{english}
\begin{figure}[h!]

However, people in the past spoke and wrote in ways different to us
today. If we want to understand an idea from the past, we must, then,
learn the words and writing of an older group of people. We must also
understand the setting in which a people lived and in which their ideas
about the world were formed. This understanding of an idea's setting is
important because even if we understand words from the past, they might
look different when they are taken out of their earlier situation. What
is more, we may find that our wider picture of the world is different to
that of the person who first thought of an idea.\selectlanguage{english}
\begin{figure}[h!]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=0.70\columnwidth]{figures/Euclid-s-Elements-1573-Edition/Euclid-s-Elements-1573-Edition}
\caption{{Euclid, \emph{Elementorum libri XV} (Paris, H. de Marnef \& G. Cavelat,
1573).
{\label{678985}}%
}}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

It is not enough, then, only to learn the words and writing of a
forgotten people to understand their ideas: we must also get to know the
place of an idea in its first setting to really understand it.
