The papyri transmit a part of the testimonia relevant to
pre-Socratic philosophy. The 'Corpus dei Papiri Filosofici' takes
this material only partly into account. In this volume, a team of
specialists discusses some of the most important papyrological
texts that are major instruments for reconstructing pre-Socratic
philosophy and doxography. Furthermore, these texts help to
increase our knowledge of how pre-Socratic thought - through
contributions to physics, cosmology, ethics, ontology, theology,
anthropology, hermeneutics, and aesthetics - paved the way for the
canonic scientific fields of European culture. More specifically,
each paper tackles (published and unpublished) papyrological texts
concerning the Orphics, the Milesians, Heraclitus, Empedocles,
Anaxagoras, the early Atomists, and the Sophists. For the first
time in the field of pre-Socratics studies, several papers are
devoted to the Herculanean sources, along with others concerning
the Graeco-Egyptian papyri and the Derveni Papyrus.
