    Du rythme et des opposés : Note sur Aristote Métaphysique Λ 1075b12-13 : ἐὰν μὴ ῥυθμίσῃ τις
    (Librairie Philosophique J. Vrin, 2022)
    Lévystone, David 
    The paper argues that the usual contemporary understanding and translation of Aristotle’s affirmation in Metaph. Λ, 1075b12-13 πάντες δ᾽ οἱ τἀναντία λέγοντες οὐ χρῶνται τοῖς ἐναντίοις, ἐὰν μὴ ῥυθμίσῃ τις relies on a misconception of the signification of the verb ῥυθμίζω. A short survey of the meaning and uses of the verb in vth and ivth BC texts, and a careful reading of its interpretations by the ancient commentators who paid attention to this specific passage of Aristotle (Ps.-Alexander, Aquinas, Averroes, Themistius), shows that ῥυθμίζω may be taken in its technical, metaphysical sense (to ‘form’, ‘to add a form [on matter]’), as it was found also in Democritus or Antiphon. A correct understanding of the verb leads to a new interpretation of this passage of Aristotle, by revealing a more complete and accurate criticism of the theses that he intends here to denounce. ©Librairie Philosophique J.
