This fundamental work of pre-Socratic philosophy brings together the surviving fragments of Empedocles of Agrigento. The author presents his cosmogonic vision based on the four elements—earth, air, fire, and water—governed by the cosmic forces of Love and Strife, alongside his mystical reflections on the transmigration of souls.
Empedocles was a Greek pre-Socratic philosopher and a native citizen of Akragas, a Greek city in Sicily. Empedocles' philosophy is known best for originating the cosmogonic theory of the four classical elements. He also proposed forces he called Love and Strife which would mix and separate the elements, respectively.
