The metaphysical atomism of greek antiquity

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the foundations of metaphysical atomism from the production of knowledge in classical antiquity. It is not necessarily opening any kind of discussion about the production of contemporary knowledge about the reality of the atom. It is to present the theoretical foundations of Greek base, whose effects were felt in later developments of the metaphysical atomism. Thus, the intention is not to present a specific work of the History of Philosophy and History of Science, but rather a study of the philosophy of science in the context of its history; therefore faced the question of what would be the epistemic competence that defines philosophy in its essence, we found another way to try to determine it unless referring to his own story.
