This text examines the philosophical concept of arché, the question of the beginning as posed by the earliest thinkers. The author argues that this inquiry remains relevant today, though it necessitates a fundamental revision of our understanding of time. The traditional assumption that arché must strictly precede subsequent events in a linear past is scrutinized. In mythic thought, the beginning was understood as an eternally present primordial past rather than a simple historical event. According to the document, a key task for contemporary philosophy is to expand the conception of reality to include the integrity of event-based existence. Every individual reality should be perceived not only in its current state but as an integrated whole encompassing its pastness and futurity. This approach moves beyond purely chronological interpretations of the beginning, allowing for a more complex view of the integrity of being across its temporal dimensions, thereby updating ancient inquiry for the needs of future philosophical discourse.
