Una versione progredita della teoria delle idee nel papiro di Ai Khanoum: una scoperta nella scoperta.

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The paper firstly focuses on a rare vox, that is, the verb, as a new finding in two different sources: the Π text of Methaphysics Lambda 1075b19 and the "Ai Khanoum philosophical papyrus"(not only at column II.9, but arguably at II.11 and IV.8-9 as well). Using the verb testifies for a "2.0 version"of the theory of ideas, in a subsequent phase to Plato's Parmenides. Xenocrates is likely to have played a role. This suggests a deeper connection than previously thought between Aristotelian theories and Plato's Academy.
