Abstract
What does Parmenides mean by thinking and being are the same? How does Plato read Parmenides and why does Aristotle’s interpretation of Parmenides and Plato matter? Such questions hinge on how many meanings do the Greek words identity and relation signify? Three paradigms emerge from these readings: Parmenides proposes a numerical identity and a se relation of thinking and being; Plato maps a qualitative identity and per se relation of thinking and being; and Aristotle offers a pros hen numerical identity and a se relation of thinking and being.
Résumé
Que veut dire Parménide quand il affirme que penser et être sont identiques ? Comment Platon lit-il Parménide et pourquoi l’interprétation aristotélicienne de Parménide et de Platon est-elle importante ? Ces questions dépendent du nombre de significations que présentent les mots grecs « identité » et « relation ». Trois conceptions émergent de ces lectures : Parménide propose une identité numérique et une relation a se entre pensée et être ; Platon établit une identité qualitative et une relation per se entre pensée et être ; Aristote suggère une identité focale numérique et une relation a se entre pensée et être.
