The author analyzed the Pre-Socratic classis philosophers’ ways to solve the major worldview question. She considered three approaches to the problem of arche, namely material-substantial (divided into mono and poly substantial), materialdynamical, and functional-nomological. The author did estimate the contribution of each direction’s most prominent disciples, belonging to ancient Greek philosophy’s various schools (Ionic, Eleatic, Pythagorean and the one of Heraclitus), to sciences development in subsequent centuries.
Keywords: existence unity; antique philosophy; arche; Pre-Socratic philosophers; material-substantial approach; material-dynamical approach; functional-nomological approach.
