In The Beginning of Knowledge, Gadamer reminds us that philosophy
for the Greeks was not just a question of metaphysics and
epistemology but encompassed cosmology, physics, mathematics,
medicine, and the entire reach of theoretical curiosity and
intellectual mastery. Whereas his book The Beginning of Philosophy
dealt with the inception of philosophical inquiry, this new book
brings together nearly all of GadamerAEs previously published but
never translated essays on the Presocratics. Beginning with a
hermeneutical and philological investigation of the Heraclitus
fragments (1974 and 1990), he then moves on to a discussion of the
Greek Atomists (1935) and the Presocratic cosmologists (1964). In
the last two essays (1978 and 1994/95), Gadamer elaborates on the
profound debt that modern scientific thinking owes to the Greek
philosophical tradition
