This short paper deals with Parmenides' fragments B1 (28-32) and B8 (51-61). I claim that Parmenides' doxa is intrinsically ambivalent, being on the one hand 'deception', on the other 'appearance'.

Phys. IX 38, 20-28 Diels, and In Arist. De cael. VII 557, 21-23 Heiberg. In fact, the terms used by Parmenides bear such ambivalence especially at B1, 28-32, where the semantic affinity between doxa, dokounta, and dokimos is patent.

Abstract

This short paper deals with Parmenides' fragments B1 (28-32) and B8 (51-61). I claim that Parmenides' doxa is intrinsically ambivalent, being on the one hand 'deception', on the other 'appearance'. A number of passages of later authors, who seem to draw on Parmenides, seems to confirm this: Plato, Resp. V 477a-480a; Aristoteles, Metaph. A 986b28-33; Theophrastus Phys. I; Simplicius, In Arist. Phys. IX 38, 20-28 Diels, and In Arist. De cael. VII 557, 21-23 Heiberg. In fact, the terms used by Parmenides bear such ambivalence especially at B1, 28-32, where the semantic affinity between doxa, dokounta, and dokimos is patent.
