Democritus, Derveni Papyrus, prayer, chance, evil, HeraclitusAbstract
I try to establish who is the philosopher or, if he is not found, the philosophical movement, who satisfies the doctrine about prayer and chance, that the Derveni papyrus’ author attributes to the «physicus» quoted in column IV, so that this philosopher can probably be identified with this physicus. In this context, I discuss the possibility, defended by Ferrari, of the physicus in question being Democritus, and I give complementary arguments in favor of this hypothesis.
