Abstract

This paper is about the meaning and implication for modern exegesis of a comment made by Simplicius about the vocabulary of a passage from Anaximander which he has just quoted. In their remarks on the passage, Nietzsche and Heidegger drew attention not only to the words and thought of Anaximander, but also made us look at that simple comment, that ‘hiccup’ of thought in Simplicius.
