Abstract

The earliest mention of Melissus of Samos by name is found in the first chapter of the Hippocratic De natura hominis. In the following note, I attempt to examine what is meant by the reference Melissus’ ‘logos’ in this work and suggest, against previous accounts, including Galen’s, that it has little to do with his commitment to monism. Rather Melissus’ logos is better understood as his referring to his strategy for demonstrating such a conclusion, especially his use of a supplemental argument in his fragment B8. Polybus’ concern in this first chapter is not monism as such but the claims to knowledge monists make. Melissus is a prime example of a monist who fails to grasp what he claims to know.
建立美利苏斯的逻各斯:希波克拉底《人的本性》第一章注解
最早提到萨摩斯的梅利苏斯的名字是在《希波克拉底论人族》的第一章中。在下面的注释中,我试图检查在这部作品中引用梅利苏斯的“逻各斯”是什么意思,并建议,反对先前的说法,包括盖伦的说法,这与他对一元论的承诺没有什么关系。更确切地说,梅利苏斯的逻各斯是更好地理解为他指的是他证明这样一个结论的策略,尤其是他在片段B8中使用的补充论证。波利布斯在第一章关注的不是一元论本身,而是一元论对知识的主张。梅利苏斯是一个一元论的典型例子,他没有掌握他声称知道的东西。
