The Difference in the Natural Philosophies of Democritus and Epicurus

This work, which is Marx's doctoral thesis, is the beginning of Marx's discovery of the continent of materialism, as Althusser puts it, who discovered the continent of history.

This discussion about Democritus, who followed the Socratic tradition, and Epicurus, who followed the Aristotelian tradition, is actually the basis of a much larger investigation that extends not only to natural philosophies, but also to the philosophy of existence and knowledge. Moreover, it is an investigation in which concepts such as necessity, coincidence, deviation, and consciousness are at work...

This book, which is an indispensable source for understanding the formation of the line that philosophy followed after Aristotle, also serves as a guide for those who want to see the roots of Marx's understanding of materialism.
