| dc.description.abstract | In this essay lexamine the theory of alteration and identity of the cosmos and the Being in the Presocratics, from Thales to Parmenides. We try to show that it was really Heraclitus, the first Presocratic philosopher, who invented this theory, which still echoes today in the most recent astrophysical theories on the universe. | en |
