Richard McKirahan systematically examines the Aristotelian discussion of the thought of Parmenides, Zeno and Melissus, shedding light on the more obscure and complex passages. He also complements his study by proposing a novel 'Aristotelianising' interpretation of Parmenides' poem. The texts are introduced by a wide-ranging essay by the book's editors, aimed at defining the fundamental lines of the volume and taking stock of the studies devoted to the relationship between Aristotle and Eleaticism. The second part of the volume collects the contributions of nine scholars, involved in a lively debate on the themes addressed by McKirahan.
