Trying to understand what we are in isolation from where we are - since where we are is something we know built on what we are. However it is rather putting the cart before the horse - we know that we exist before our rationality - I even have a friend who remembers being a child before he had language. What we are springs from where we are. This is why I like the work of the philosophers who try to reason from as little reliance on outside sense as possible, like Descarte or Berkeley.

It doesn't take long before everything you learn is so categorised in relation to everything else that there is hardly any true experience in new knowledge.
