In the history of Philosophy, Empedocles first creates a philosophical system, complete a whole of learning that contains ontology, cosmology, biology, epistemology and ethics. Exceeding her predecessors Heraclitus and Parmenides, Empedocles develops an impressive consistent system of concepts that with their originality and creativity have a significant impact on various aspects of the history and development of the great ideas that are the foundation of human humanism and civilization, much more than it is commonly recognized in the previous studies of Empedocles.
