Abstract

Thematic units in the metric fragments of the Presocratics: 1. A Presocratic poem have been composed as a set of thematic units. We can state the opening and the end of these units. 2. The thematic units content good identifiable structural elements. 3. Each unit has its very philosophical meaning and intention, therefore they are good analysable. In the antithetical reasoning the philosopher opposes the true knowledge to the opinion of ordinary men. It is an interesting feature of this sort of reasoning that the content of the ordinary opinion is expressed in a detailed form of a catalogue, the true knowledge on the other hand is formulated with gnomic conciseness. The quasi-geometrical proof is an argument in three steps: (a) exposition of the demonstrandum, (b) demonstration, (c) conclusion. This sort of proof shows a kinship with the structure of the Euclidean demonstration: protasis, apodeixis, sumperasma.
