¿Tiene Anaxímenes una teoría del cambio?

Abstract

For a long time it has been argued that, amongst the first presocratics, Anaximenes is whom possessed the most detailed theory of change. Indeed, his theory of change was one of his fundamental contributions to history of philosophy. Thirty years ago this opinion was questioned and the argument was recently repeated in a revised edition of Anaximenes. So far, I have no notice that such question has been answered. In the present essay I want to argue that, although there is something erroneous in the traditional interpretation of Anaximenes theory of change, it is not what the objectors say it is: truly, Anaximenes possess an important theory of change, of which we have significant antique evidence.
