Abstract

« Philosophie présocratique » : un objet historique, et donc construit, dont on peut tracer l’origine, comprendre les enjeux, et suivre les avatars. Mais quelle en est la légitimité ? Telle est la question que la série de contributions réunies dans le présent volume explore. Il s’agit à la fois de mieux comprendre comment la réflexion philosophique a trouvé, en Grèce, les voies d’un développement spécifique, et de s’interroger sur les instruments conceptuels permettant d’appréhender adéquatement le moment très particulier de la gestation d’une discipline comme la philosophie. Le récit historiographique peut-il échapper à toute téléologie ? Comment penser la dynamique, sociale aussi bien qu’intellectuelle, qui aboutit à l’autonomisation d’une forme de pensée inédite ? Dans quelle mesure de nouvelles approches, quelles soient inspirées de l’anthropologie ou de la pragmatique du discours, ou d’une analyse scrupuleuse des données, mettent-elles en question les classifications reçues ? Quels critères doivent présider à la constitution du corpus des « premiers philosophes » ? Le volume est divisé en deux parties. La première traite pour elles-mêmes ces questions générales, tandis que la seconde revient sur l’interprétation d’auteurs ou de problèmes plus particuliers. L’ensemble constitue une mise au point représentative du débat actuel sur les débuts de la philosophie en Grèce.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

This volume gathers the papers presented at an International Colloquium held in Paris in 2003, and offers new contributions and new interpretative suggestions about both canonical and relatively neglected research areas on Democritus, including ethics, physics and epistemology, as well as musical and literary criticism, technics, zoology, and the catalogue of works. Specific contributions are furthermore devoted to Democritus’ posterity and the problem of sources. The book also offers a detailed bibliography and several indices, which render it an up-to-date and stimulating tool for contemporary research on Democritus and atomism. Essays by: A. Brancacci, L. Gemelli, A. Jaulin, W. Leszl, J. Mansfeld, P.-M. Morel, D. O’Brien, L. Perilli, J. Salem, C.C.W. Taylor, J. Warren.

Abstract

This book explores the dynamic relationship between myth and philosophy in the Presocratics, the Sophists, and in Plato - a relationship which is found to be more extensive and programmatic than has been recognized. The story of philosophy's relationship with myth is that of its relationship with literary and social convention. The intellectuals studied here wanted to reformulate popular ideas about cultural authority and they achieved this goal by manipulating myth. Their self-conscious use of myth creates a self-reflective philosophic sensibility and draws attention to problems inherent in different modes of linguistic representation. Much of the reception of Greek philosophy stigmatizes myth as 'irrational'. Such an approach ignores the important role played by myth in Greek philosophy, not just as a foil but as a mode of philosophical thought. The case studies in this book reveal myth deployed as a result of methodological reflection, and as a manifestation of philosophical concerns.

Abstract

"La 4e de couverture indique : Othmar Keel has become well known as the author of masterly studies on the iconography and texts of the ANE and their relationship to the text of the Hebrew Bible. In this volume, he partners with Silvia Schroer to assemble ANE texts and art that bears on the idea of creation. The result is a convenient assemblage of texts and iconographical data that may be studied in concert, often leading to being able to see old texts in new ways. As with much of this Swiss scholar's work, this new volume will prove to be a resource for all who wish to study the biblical theology of creation against its wider background."
