In the fifth century BCE, Melissus of Samos developed wildly counterintuitive claims
against plurality, change, and the reliability of the senses. This book provides a
reconstruction of the preserved textual evidence for his philosophy, along with an
interpretation of the form and content of each of his arguments. A close examination
of his thought reveals an extraordinary clarity and unity in his method and gives
us a unique perspective on how philosophy developed in the fifth century, and how
Melissus came to be the most prominent representative of what we now call Eleaticism,
the monistic philosophy inaugurated by Parmenides. The rich intellectual climate of
Ionian enquiry in which Melissus worked is explored and brought to bear on central
questions of the interpretation of his fragments. This volume will appeal to students
and scholars of early Greek philosophy, and also those working on historical and medical
texts
