Demokritov entuzijazam
Democritus' enthusiasm

Summary/Abstract: Among the fragments by Democritus there is one (B 18 DK) which includes a mention of the noun ἐνθουσιασμός. Democritus uses the things which are almost conventionally referred to as divine to denote a special quality which tells of an unusual and non-standardized structure. His divinity is not transcendental as Plato’s, it has no identity of a force, but it is immanent to poet’s structure, to his physiology as a special, unusual quality of the elements and their contents.
