Kenon: remarks to the individuation between authentican inauthentiky reality on democritean thought
Keywords:
Democritus, kenón, authentic and inauthentic knowledgeAbstract
Democritus considers Physics as made of a double reality, the atoms and the kenón. Such proposal can be grasped by intellect although it requires a ponderation of the senses. Both kinds of knowledge reach their unity taking into account the kenón. It is the responsible for the feasibility of empirical reality, uniting it to that which the intellect can apprehend. In a way, the kenón is the necessary principle of reality as it is taken in its totality.Downloads
