ELEMENTS FOR AN EPISTEMOLOGY: IMAGINATION, THE WORLD, AND LANGUAGE AS HERMENEUTIC DIMENSIONS IN CLASSIC GREECE

The paper seeks to analyze the epistemological construction of the terms: language, world and imagination. The methodology is qualitative, analytical of the sources of representative texts of classical Greek thinking, particularly Aristotle. Subsequently, a hermeneutic is constructed that seeks to fuse an epistemology centered on a comprehensive arch as a representative construct of the real-imaginative. The results establish a clear differentiation between the imaginative -Homer, Hesiod- and physical delving of the phenomena of reality Aristotle- in classical Greece.
