A EMERGÊNCIA DE UMA DISCIPLINA. O CASO DA FILOSOFIA PRÉ-SOCRÁTICA.

The article proposes an analysis of the expression "Pre-Socratic School" and its implications to demonstrate the assumptions that partly reflect those of the modern academic institutions but partly those of the Aristotelian historiography. According to the author, the approach to the beginnings of the Greek philosophy was largely inspired by anthropological and pragmatic concepts but it is not enough to encompass the intellectual processes demanded by the Greek philosophy as a disciplinary innovation.
