Heraclitea

Recensio III.3. A = Héraclite d'Éphèse, Les Vestiges. 3. Fragmenta Heraclitea, A. Introduction à la poétique des fragments. With a free CD-ROM HSE-1. The volume gives a general introductory commentary on the philosopher's proverbially dark language. It is a full scale monographic study of Heraclitus' highly sophisticated style and poetics. This is the third volume of III Recensio - devoted to all the truly Heraclitean material preserved by tradition - or more precisely the first volume of its section 3 Fragmenta dedicated to the remnants (or fragments) of Heraclitus' book. It consists of a general introductory commentary on the philosopher's proverbially dark language. In fact this is a full scale monographic study of Heraclitus' highly sophisticated style and poetics, which are described in every minute detail. This description, moreover, is based on a new approach to the general theory of the literary language and underlines the exceptional rôle played by poetical figures and structures in the very wording of Heraclitus' protophilosophical utterances, a rôle which no commentator of his fragments can afford to ignore.
