Abstrakt
Philosophical oikology con-stitutes a phenomenological reflexion on the genesis of the house. The genealogical approach remarks the bond between the sedentary becoming of mankind and the seeks for a ultimate ground that char-acterizes the Western thought.
The settlement of a house implies the delimitation of the space by virtue of the measure. The measurement is a imaginary action but their consequences are real.
In first place it traces a line between an inner and an outer sphere. As result of that the measure sets the conditions for the devel-opment of private property and the associated fear of their lost.
At the same time the measure tends to excess its own boundaries. In the ex-cess that characterizes every measure lies the germ of the conquer and submission of alterity.
