The importance of the word in the Greek philosophy's origins. La importancia de la palabra en los orígenes de la filosofía griega

Abstract

In the 6th century, before our era. In ancient Greece three enlightened men of the polis of Miletus, Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes, who are considered by the Western philosophical tradition as the first philosophers, begin to construct rational explanations of the origin of the world, its composition and its ordering by out of the mythical and religious beliefs, for them all that exists is physis; it is through the logos that the world can be grasped and interpreted as physis. From Tales of Miletus, nature is contemplated and analyzed according to its immanent laws and a material principle, without the intervention of divine potentialities; With this cognitive position of Thales a new way of interpreting and expressing things is inaugurated, of thinking of the world as a whole, which will be named after Philosophy.
