Dife a nan mitan filozòf ansyen an se te youn nan kat eleman debaz yo nan lanati. Yon kote te gen tou senkyèm "konjonktif" eleman nan akashi a ki egziste bò kote: dife, dlo, latè ak lè. Li se yon prensip ki toujou egziste tou de nan Lès la ak nan Lwès la. Depi "kat blòk rektangilè" yo remake nan tablo peryodik nan eleman yo, li te di ke sistèm nan peryodik nan eleman se siksesè a sa yo fin vye granmoun, men yo toujou konsèp aktyèl. Sa a konsèp nan eleman debaz yo se atribiye nan Ewòp nan lekòl la Ionian ak Empedocles pandan y ap Boudis te pran sou sa a konplo soti nan filozofi Endyen. Epitou nan sikoloji nou gen yon divizyon nan kat tanperamanmen tou, nan Astwoloji.

The fire among many ancient philosophers was one of the four basic elements of nature. Somewhere there was also the fifth "connective" element of the akashi which exists beside: fire, water, earth and air. It is a principle that still exists both in the East and in the West. Since the "four rectangular blocks" are observed in the periodic table of the elements, it is said that the periodic system of elements is the successor to these old but still current concepts. This concept of the basic elements is attributed in Europe to the Ionian School and Empedocles while Buddhism took over this scheme from Indian philosophy. Also in psychology we have a division into four temperamentsbut also in astrology.
