The question is how original is Democritus’ contribution to zoology, and in which way it was related to the cultural framework of the time. By analizing the relationship of Democritus to ancient medical theories, it is assumed that the importance of the contribution lies in the application of atomist theories (for instance, that o a minimal unit) to other fields of investigation, such as zoology.

Abstract
The question is how original is Democritus’ contribution to zoology, and in which way it was related to the cultural framework of the time. By analizing the relationship of Democritus to ancient medical theories, it is assumed that the importance of the contribution lies in the application of atomist theories (for instance, that o a minimal unit) to other fields of investigation, such as zoology.File in questo prodotto:
