Inmanere https://revistas.ucsc.cl/index.php/inmanere <p style="text-align: justify;">The Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy program at the Faculty of Theological Studies and Philosophy aims to provide our students with a comprehensive understanding of the discipline while preparing them for academic work by fostering the exploration of reason and the rationality of the Christian faith through research.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Aligned with this objective as the Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepcipon, our students have sought to establish a platform for publishing research articles, essays, and reviews.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Thus, the Inmanere Journal emerges as a venue to engage in an ongoing dialogue, drawing from the distinct tenets of the philosophical discipline and in constant interaction with other fields, in order to uncover transcendent truths beyond diverse worldviews and explore the essence of humanity. The journal serves as a space for publishing articles from our own institution and extends an invitation to contributions from other academic entities.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">We cordially invite you to embrace this space as a platform for critical reflection on topics of interest to our academic community. As it evolves, it has the potential to awaken new interests within us by shedding light on aspects of reality that may have previously escaped our attention.</p> Universidad Católica de la Santísma Concepción es-ES Inmanere 2735-7961 <p style="text-align: justify;">The work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

The objective is to answer the question of whether Plato is an atomist and, if so, in what sense. To do this, three proposals are analyzed: Democritus' atomism, surface atomism, and mathematical atomism, based on Brisson and Ofman's anti-atomist proposal and Di Giacomo's chemical analysis. The study focuses on the conformation of matter and the composition of the Universe. Two principles that atomist proposals should have been proposed: the theory of the constitution of the universe is based on minimal bodies that form the entirety of the world and are interchangeable between them, and it simplifies the composition of the Universe. It is concluded that Plato is not an atomist in the strict sense of the word, but his theory shares some similarities with atomism, such as the idea that matter is composed of minimal particles and the importance of proportion in the conformation of the Universe. </p> Julián David Rodríguez Herrera Copyright (c) 2024 Julián David Rodríguez Herrera https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-03-08 2024-03-08 3 3 15 10.21703/2735-797X.2024.2108
