A Doxa no Poema de Parmênides.

de Renilson Bail, Resenha

The book by Professor Bruno Loureiro Conte proposes a solution to the problem of the place of Doxa in Parmenides' Poem. The author argues that the devaluation of Doxa is the result of the hegemonic reading of Fülleborn and the tradition inaugurated by Diels and Kranz. Conte argues that Doxa should be reduced to the cosmic arrangement of opposites or that it has two stages, the first being the cosmic arrangement and the second being the cosmogonic account. He also rehabilitates Doxa by interpreting the goddess's speech as a revealed teaching to be learned. The text discusses the interpretation of the goddess's discourse in Parmenides' poem and the relationship between his cosmogony and Parmenidean philosophy. The author argues that the modern interpretation of the goddess's discourse is mistaken and that the assertion that the second path is not "true" does not imply the rejection of truth. Furthermore, the text analyzes Parmenides' reception by Aristotle, highlighting how the Greek philosopher creates artificial debates to develop his own system of thought. The author also suggests that Aristotle recognized a cosmological discourse in Parmenides' poem. The author discusses Parmenides' doctrine of opposites as principles of nature, citing Aristotle's testimony as an important source of information. He also analyzes Parmenides' choice of hexameter verse and argues that the poem's goal was to convey a new image of the world, representing space as a spherical universe. The author highlights the presence of a cosmogonic discourse in the second part of the poem, revealing the permanent structure of reality. However, he raises objections regarding the main thesis and points out editorial problems in the book. The text questions the characterization of Greek philosophy as a transition from myth to logos, highlighting
