<br/><br/> Gadamer is interested not so much in the origins of philosophy as in the origins of knowledge in general - everything, that is, that we call ""science"". Beginning with a hermeneutical and philological investigation of the Heraclitus fragments, Gadamer then moves on to a dicussion of the Greek atomists and the Presocratic cosmologists. Gadamer concludes by elaborating on the profound debt that modern scientific thought owes to the Greek scientific tradition.
