The Concept of Presocratic Philosophy
Reviewed by: The Concept of Presocratic Philosophy: Its Origin, Development, and Significance by André Laks Patricia Curd André Laks.

Translated by Glenn W. Most. Teaching an undergraduate course in ancient philosophy, one usually begins with “The Presocratics.” Stude…
Powers, Structure, and Thought in Empedocles
How is it that Empedocles’ world is is an organized system of diverse entities and how does this system of maintain regularity over long periods of time? I suggest that it is the impulses and thoughts of the roots and of Love and Strife that answer these questions. Love and Strife, working within the laws of nature provide the major structural aspects of the cosmos: the circular motion of the whirls created by the opposing forces produce the mass…
The Divine and the Thinkable Toward an account of the intelligible cosmos
There are three components in early Greek philosophy that, while not explicitly stated by the Presocratics, taken together provide the support for their confidence about human knowledge. First, there is an analysis of the concept of divinity, originally found in Xenophanes, but picked up by later thinkers, which removes genuine divinity from the traditional gods and places it in the cosmos itself. The second theme, a continuation of the first, is…
Parmenides and after
This chapter contains sections titled: Before Parmenides Parmenides Empedocles Anaxagoras Atomism Eleaticism after Parmenides: Melissus Aftermath Bibliography
Anaxagoras and the Theory of Everything
Anaxagoras of Clazomenae proposed a theory of everything. Like other Presocratics, Anaxagoras addressed topics that could now be placed outside the sphere of philosophical inquiry: not only did he explore metaphysics and the nature of human understanding but he also offered explanations in physics, meteorology, astronomy, physiology, and biology. His aim seems to have been to explain as completely as possible the world in which human beings live,…
The Oxford Handbook of Presocratic Philosophy
The Oxford Handbook of Presocratic Philosophy brings together leading international scholars to study the diverse figures, movements, and approaches that constitute Presocratic philosophy. In the sixth and fifth centuries bc a new kind of thinker appeared in Greek city-states, dedicated to finding the origins of the world and everything in it, using observation and reason rather than tradition and myth. We call these thinkers Presocratic philosop…

Anaxagoras of Clazomenae
The Legacy of Parmenides
Qu'est-ce que la philosophie présocratique ?
« 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…
Eleatic Monism in Zeno and Melissus
Plato's Parmenides
Deception and Belief in Parmenides' Doxa
Knowledge and Unity in Heraclitus
In this paper I argue that the logos, the primary object of knowledge in Heraclitus' epistemology, is a unity both as an object of knowledge and as an instance of being rather than becoming. Section I begins with discussions of knowledge and Heraclitus' conception of logos', section II is concerned with knowledge and unity. The two later sections of the paper explore the consequences of the account I attribute to Heraclitus: section III considers…
