It was first shown the methodological feature of this concept for the analysis and the constitution of theoretical sciences. Based on the frequent synonymic usage «the prior» as «the first» (tò prôton), found on the interpretation Aristotle’s metaphysics as «onto-theology», considered the well-known agonal characteristic of the Greek world view, I propose to inte-grate the elucidation of «first» in the thematic context of the «primary philosophy».
