A Journey Through History: From Paleolithic to Absolutism
The Paleolithic Era
The Paleolithic era is a prehistoric stage characterized by the use of chipped stone tools, along with other organic materials like bone, horn, wood, leather, and fibers (though these are poorly preserved and less understood). It is the longest period of human history, comprising 99% of it, and extends from 2.5 million years ago (in Africa) to about 10,000 years ago.

According to the biological cycles at which meiosis occurs, there are three biological cycles.
Haplonte Cycle
In species where adult individuals are haploid, the only diploid part of the life cycle is the zygote. Gametes are formed from the adult via mitosis. By uniting, gametes form a diploid zygote, which undergoes meiosis (zygotic meiosis) and gives rise to haploid cells that develop into haploid adults. This cycle occurs in some algae and fungi.
Diplonte Cycle
In species where adults are always

- What can I know? (Metaphysics)
- What should I do? (Ethics)
- What can I hope for? (Religion)
These are summarized in a fourth question: What is man?
Critique of Pure Reason
Objective: To establish whether metaphysics is possible as a science (knowing God, self, and the world scientifically)

Truth and its Importance
Theories of Truth
The definition of truth as adequacy or correspondence of thought and reality is widely accepted. However, other theories of truth exist:
- The truth as coherence: Truth is determined by whether knowledge contradicts existing beliefs.
- The truth and usefulness: Truth is judged by its consequences; beneficial beliefs are considered true.
- Truth as consensus: Truth arises from agreement among a group, ideally all of humanity.

Fundamental Rights
Concept
Fundamental rights differ from human rights in their international scope. At the international level, rights are less protected. The law defines a fundamental right based on two perspectives:
- Material Character (Luigi Ferrajoli): A right is fundamental if it has a universal character, applying to all persons or entities. This criterion suggests that even countries without a constitution could have fundamental rights (e.g., the United Kingdom). However, this theory has limitations,
