In the fifth century BCE, Melissus of Samos developed wildly counterintuitive claims against plurality, change, and the reliability of the senses. This book provides a reconstruction of the preserved textual evidence for his philosophy, along with an interpretation of the form and content of each of his arguments. A close examination of his thought reveals an extraordinary clarity and unity in his method and gives us a unique perspective on how philosophy developed in the fifth century, and how Melissus came to be the most prominent representative of what we now call Eleaticism, the monistic philosophy inaugurated by Parmenides. The rich intellectual climate of Ionian enquiry in which Melissus worked is explored and brought to bear on central questions of the interpretation of his fragments. This volume will appeal to students and scholars of early Greek philosophy, and also those working on historical and medical texts.

Le présocratique Mélissos de Samos a longtemps été négligé par la critique, en tant que disciple de Parménide sans envergure. Des critiques récents ont cependant souligné que la lecture que les Anciens ont fait de Mélissos a eu une grande influence sur l’interprétation de Parménide. Cet ouvrage se propose de mettre à disposition tout le matériel pour une étude des lectures de Mélissos dans l’Antiquité, avec une édition et traduction en français de l’ensemble des témoignages sur cet auteur, ainsi qu’un commentaire qui se concentre sur l’histoire de son interprétation. Son objectif est de montrer comment Mélissos a été compris par les auteurs anciens en fonction de leur perspective et des connaissances qu’ils avaient, et de présenter les grandes orientations de cette lecture à travers l’Antiquité. Ce travail prodigue à la fois une base textuelle pour des recherches futures sur Mélissos ou l’Eléatisme en général, et présente un intérêt dans la perspective d’une histoire de l’interprétation des Présocratiques dans l’Antiquité. This work contains an edition and translation of the testimonies on the Presocratic philosopher Melissus of Samos in Antiquity, and a commentary focusing on the history of the way in which he has been interpreted. The aim is to show how he has been understood by ancient writers according to their own agenda and to the knowledge available to them, and to present the main lines of the reception of Melissus throughout Antiquity.

Ce volume, le premier de l'« Anthologie présocratique », rassemble les citations anciennes qui ont été données des œuvres des philosophes de l'école d'Élée : Parménide, Zénon et Mélissos (Ve siècle av. J.-C.). Ces citations, dans lesquelles on s'efforce d'identifier les « fragments » de leurs œuvres, sont présentées dans le texte original du citateur et accompagnées d'une traduction française en regard. Elles sont précédées de la traduction de témoignages anciens et d'une introduction. Les textes ainsi rassemblés font tous l'objet d'un commentaire explicatif. Une introduction générale présente l'école philosophique de la cité phocéenne d'Élée. Cette anthologie s'attache à explorer la fécondité d'une école qui a questionné toutes les sciences de son temps, de l'astronomie à l'embryologie, et qui a renouvelé les moyens d'expression de la poésie et de la prose pour les adapter aux exigences de la philosophie – aussi bien pour dire la plénitude de l'être que pour offrir des armes redoutables à la démonstration et à la réfutation
