Summary:

"Even philosophy and science as we know them today were once young. Their homeland was the ancient world and their language was Greek. But a dense historical and hermeneutical shadow lies over its beginnings. Jürgen Mittelstraß shows how in pre-Socratic thought knowledge became aware of its conceptual and methodological nature for the first time. The beginnings of philosophy and science are often sought in the interpretation of nature, which is already familiar to mythical thinking and which gradually becomes natural research. Their history is thus lost in prehistory; the step from myth to logos, as it is said in pre-Socratic research, remains vague and indefinite. It's different if you don't search thematically, as is usually the case, but rather connect these beginnings with the change in forms of thought. In detailed philosophical analyzes and in an examination of a wide-ranging research literature, Jürgen Mittelstraß shows how, with Heraclitus and Parmenides, thinking finds itself in conceptual and methodological terms. Thaletic geometry plays a significant role here with its theoretical propositions and the formation of the proof idea. In it, according to the thesis of the book and its justification, lies the discovery of the possibility of philosophy and science and thus also the answer to the question of the beginnings of philosophy and science."
