"The works collected in this volume form the true foundation of Western philosophy12the base upon which Plato and Aristotle and their successors would eventually build.

Zeno's dizzying 'proofs' that motion is impossible the extraordinary atomic theories of Democritus the haunting and enigmatic epigrams of Heraclitus and the maxims of Alcmaeon: fragmentary as they often are, the thoughts of these philosophers seem strikingly modern in their concern to forge a truly scientific vocabulary and way of reasoning.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
