About the book
The works collected in this volume form the true foundation of western philosophy - the base upon which plato and aristotle and their successors would eventually build. Yet the importance of the pre-socratics thinkers lies less in their influence - great though that was - than in their astonishing intellectual ambition and imaginative reach. Zeno's dizzying 'proofs' that motion is impossible; the extraordinary atomic theories of democritus; the haunting and enigmatic epigrams of heraclitus; and, the maxims of alcmaeon: fragmentary as they often are, the thoughts of these philosophers seem strikingly modern in their concern to forge a truly scientific vocabulary and way of reasoning.
