The role of “opinions” before Parmenides and the specific case he criticizes
Keywords:
Parmenides, Xenophanes, Heraclitus, OpinionsAbstract
This work attempts to demonstrate that opinions, or what "one says" (or others "say") about the reality of things played a very important role: they prompted the first three philosophers from whom we possess a considerable number of recovered quotations (Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Parmenides) to set their own research in motion. A second stage of this work shows that Parmenides' criticisms are addressed to a set of explicit δόξαι, common certainly in his region and time, which justifies the absence of proper names and the precision of certain details.
