In addition the topic is being discussed of whether the \u00e1peiron is something that is \u2018spatially boundless\u2019, or is it something that is \u2018qualitatively indefinite\u2019. The author, on the trail of Aristotle\u2019s trail, analysed whether \u2018the boundless\u2019 is purely a monistic principle, or whether Anaximander since being placed in a group of philosophers together with Empedocles, Anaxagoras and Democritus, is situated as someone who could no longer speak of a single principle of everything. The author concludes that, regardless of doubts and disagreements among commentators over the nature of \u00e1peiron, it is certain that Anaximander\u2019s \u2018the boundless\u2019 should be interpreted as matter and classified into the so called category of material causes. The author, at the same time, examines the possible implications of the first registered use of the term d\u00edk\u0113, as well as its form with the negative particle adik\u00eda, in the after mentioned fragment of second Milesian philosopher. For Anaximander justice was not exclusively linked to the human sphere, nor did it represent something that only exists in it. Justice also has its cosmic dimension, being presented as a link and correlation of oppositions that maintain the principle of measure. While there is equilibrium of oppositions the order is maintained, the justice is maintained. When it is disrupted the era of injustice occurs, or as Anaximander puts it, the era of \u2018providing justice and compensation\u2019. Understanding of justice with Anaximander, finally, indicates the dimension of arithmetic equality, anticipating its special form which will then be called equalizing justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018something in between\u2019 elements, to the one that it is \u2018a mixture\u2019 of all the elements.
