το απειρον - THE INFINITE αρχη των οντων το απειρον: The Beginning of everything is the Infinite. This fragment, from the origin of Western civilization's Thought, is from the Greek philosopher, Anassimandro di Mileto, and its meaning is: The beginning that destines and governs until the end is the infinite=limitless.

αρχη - BEGINNING

τεχνη - ART τεχνη is the Greek word for Art. Considered the defender of Truth, was the force able to carry human beings to the height of Gods. Today Faith in scientific methods to reach Truth has destined Art to an entertaining role and turned it in toone of the motors of the process of Reality Objectification (Dominated by Technique).

	Αληθεια - TRUTH α: non, λανθανω: hiding. Truth reveals itself and its essence lies in hiding.
	Δαιμον - DEMON Eraclitus: Εθος ανθροπω δαιμον: the ethics of each man is his own Demon.Each man must find freedom, therefore Truth, exploring his own nature.

	Φυσις - NATURE It designates the sky and the earth, the stone like the tree, animals and humans, their history and work, and Gods, under the rule of Fate.

	Κρεων - THE NECESSITY It governs the movement of things, from their beginning to their end.
	Κρονος - TIME Time is not the result of a calculation, a sequence of moments -- Time Destines. The essence of things is their own "Presence". Time brings things to their present, it decides when they begin and for how long they last; everything has its own time.

	Παν - EVERYTHING
	Πολεμως - WAR It is the conflict that emerges before any Humans or Divine matter. The contrast that determines who will become God and who will be human, who will be a slave and who will be free. This reciprocal confrontation determines what is essential and what is not.
