Concerning the relation between Eleaticism and Atomism there are ultimately two interpretations. On the one hand, there is the interpretation that postulates the existence of a relation of continuity between Parmenides and Democritus. On the other hand, there is the interpretation that upholds the existence of a relation of discontinuity and rupture. In the present research we take sides in favor of the interpretation that postulates a relation of rupture -and therefore of radical differenceexisting between both philosophical currents of thought.
