SEGGIARO, CLAUDIA MARISA. The Physis as a Problem in Fragment 9 of On Philosophy. Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2021, vol.47, n.2, pp.358-382. ISSN 1852-7353.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36446/rlf2021189.

In the present work, we will focus on the analysis of Par- menides’ and Melissus’ criticisms made in fragment 9 of On Philosophy. We believe that this fragment is a relatively solid testimony that in this work Aris- totle would have tried to inquire around one of the principles of the real: the physis, presenting the problems that its denial presupposes. To perform our analysis, we will divide the work into two parts. In the first, we will examine the context in which the fragment 9 of On philosophy and the source from which it has reached us is mentioned: Sextus Empiricus. In the second part, we will focus on the argumentative strategies that Aristotle would have implemented to develop the thesis presented in this fragment.

Keywords : dialectical procedure; principles; immobilists; antiphysics.
