Las relaciones entre el mito y la filosofía en los primeros filósofos

Abstract

A few decades ago, philosophy historians have started a revision of Presocratic thought defined by Diels and the first philosophy historians such as Burnet or Zeller. Behind their interpretation was Aristotle’s, that Diels, at least in part, had reproduced.
One of the first consequences of this revision was to change the name that we use to refer to these philosophers: from Pre-socratics to first philosophers. This meant to abandon the evolution paradigm that rules this history from Diels.
We aim to question another aspect of this revision: the relations between myth and logos, between poetry and philosophy, between religious and secular thought. We use to think that philosophy produced a separation from religious thought, although the modern division between faith and logos was not the case of Ancient Greece.
