OverviewThere are two main contributions in this book: Firstly, to make the founding and evolution of the Western thought accessible to the reflective man of our day, since the spirit of the Presocratics - although it is considered to constitute a true intellectual revolution - remains unknown to the broader community and secondly to shed greater light - probably for the first time - on the scientific dimension of the Presocratics' work, and show its timeless value. This book is a balanced interdisciplinary philosophic-scientific presentation of the evolution of Western thought through the presocratic tradition, where the synthesis of rationality and intuition - rather than their opposition - is the key to answering all questions of science, as we now understand the them. It is a book that investigates the roots of Western science and philosophy, where probably for the first time a coherent interrelation is shown between Presocratics' thought and classical, as well as modern physical sciences.
