Abstract
Unlike the problems of Arche the Pre-socratic philosophers discussed the elements of the material world in the rhizomata questions.
This article is divided into three main parts. The first part deals with the historical development of the problems of rhizomata proceeding in the order of pluralism, mechanism and teleology. In the second part we investigate the essential contents of rhizomata operating from Empedocles, Democritus and Anaxagoras. The causal principle took place in the transcendental and immanental sophistication, and at the same time the materialistic and the idealistic Weltanschauung have had their origin and their na?ve forms. Finally, in the third part, the contemporary significance is discussed in the light of Aristotle’s metaphysical point of view. The author tries here to raise some questions about the foundations of the oppositional atmosphere of the Materialism and the Idealism today, which seems to have their origin from the Pre-socratic period.
