The core of the "we don't know where we came from" problem is the loss of our nomos. This is occurring worldwide at a slower or faster rate. The policy of miscegenation (verschmelzungspolitik) has privileged, like that of the entire western hemisphere, two names:

- the Covenant (ברית), nomos of the Semitic peoples that encompasses Jews, Christians and Muslims by the covenants considered in their telos between such (chosen) peoples and God;

- the Logos (λόγος), nomos of the foundation of the Hellenic-Roman peoples, which encompasses all Western philosophies and the original cradle of science.

In the case of the African peoples, there was no textual preservation of their nomos. The closest that could be affirmed in relation to a nomos africanum is the concept of Iwa pele, from which the sophos African, that is, the moluabi of the Yoruba peoples, derives. However, the textual records are dispersed and the nomos subsisted almost exclusively by orality, which prevented the firming of its omphalos, i.e., the cornerstone of a polis, thus subsisting as nomads or in tribal societies centered on agricultural cultivation. The absence of a polis for centuries made it difficult to form an Emperium Africanum, so such formations were restricted to small territorial portions, such as the Kush Kingdom or the Aksum Kingdom. More recently, African philosophy has expanded, but there are still some uncertainties as to the "intersection" with iwa pele, and what Africanness means, what community still refers to iwa pele in today's times considering miscegenation,history and cultural assimilation undertaken in relation to the "Logos" (λόγος) and the "Alliance" (ברית). The interesting thing to note about this is that the Modern Crisis is global and of the same cause in relation to all peoples, and concerns the dissolution and hybridization of its "nomos" with other peoples and the difficulties, or even impossibility, of the coexistence of the nomos of the cosmopolitan lands in which they inhabit.
