hey /lit/ I'm writing something and I'm trying to remember where I read something about the need to study the roots of a concept before studying its consequences.

For instance, if you would like to speak about Nationalism, you need to know what a Nation is.

Its something similar to "Ab ovo usque ad mala" or something like that.

What you're looking for is called "naive reductionism"

perhaps that was a bad example.

If you want to speak about thermodynamics you need some basis in mathematics and physics.

How do you conceive this idea? Something like "from the egg, the chicken".
