Sokrates Öncesi Dönemde: Doğa’dan İnsan’a Aklın Serüveni
In the Pre-Socrates Period: The Adventure of Mind from Nature to Human

Summary/Abstract: In the period that the sense of wonder man felt towards nature and the universe had not yet been overcome, nature philosophers sought answers to some questions through simple observations of these feelings. These questions can be answered based on the “arkhe” as they say. Parmenides, who speculated on an ontology on the idea of “being”, and Heraclitus on the basis of “becoming” appear before us. Heraclitus, who examines change and movement in the ratio of the importance, attributes to becoming, reveals the obstacles to knowledge. For Parmenides, if the being is real and genuine, change and movement should be excluded. The philosophical view that can be seen as an attempt to bring together the thought of Parmenides on the basis of “being” and the thought of Heraclitus on “being” belongs to the Sophists. Adventure of knowledge that started with nature expands to human beings and transforms within itself.
