Once they have a thought "basic theoretical framework", people are beginning to find their answers to their everyday world and create "culture", by giving meaning to their acts. Each culture is based on a group of ideas, highly developed and complex or little developed and simple, but all satisfactorily respond to the ontological problem[1].

"Where will we go?"
Only came to be born.
Our home is over there:
Where is the place of the emaciated.

I suffer: joy never reached me, happiness
Have I come here only to act in vain?
Is this is not the region where things are done.
Certainly nothing turns green here:
Open its unhappiness flowers."
(Ms. Mexican folk songs.)

In the history of humanity, all peoples have developed a complex system of ideas, which are usually deeply linked to the family and community life. So we can commonly find philosophical responses of life, closely interwoven with their religion, their education, their traditions and customs. Only the European culture, which has biased knowledge, has made philosophy a "science of thought", abstract and "pure", but that is always extremely difficult to apply by ordinary people in everyday life. This is why, in addition to being the dominant culture, the reason why European and American researchers deny the existence of an Anahuac philosophy. To date, they have been unable to find —and will not find— in the ancient history of the Anahuac, a European style philosophy.
