Seeking In this article I study and analyze in a tripartite way some fundamental questions in the pre-Socratics: first, the problem of overcoming myth by logos is addressed; as a second point, the question of origin: what is the beginning of all things? And thirdly, the question of the one and the many is examined: how can the different be derived from the identical? - A topic that is approached from the controversial interpretation of Plato and Aristotle on the thought of Parmenides (being immobile) and Heraclitus (becoming) and its possible solution. These three questions are relevant, but especially the question of origin. Since, it is a key question that also leads us to question ourselves, as intelligent beings, capable of observing, seeing and analyzing the existential and transcendental problems of reality like a mountain. For a better understanding, I start with the preliminary questions.
