Résumé

Parmênides impulsionou um novo desenvolvimento na história da filosofia ao dirigir o pensamento para a noção de “ser enquanto tal”, designando-o com o verbo εἶναι, com o substantivo τὸ ἐόν e seus cognatos. Os usos que ele fez desses termos já foram amplamente investigados. Este ensaio aborda uma expressão menos discutida do ser, por meio do verbo arcaico πέλειν, empregado nos Fragmentos 6 e 8. Embora seja incerto que os usos de πέλειν por Parmênides sejam conclusivos, esse verbo pode oferecer outras informações sobre o ser parmenidiano, na medida em que indica um ser com sentido dinâmico, intermisturado e revelado. Nesta interpretação, πέλειν invoca o ser como a atividade daquilo que se revela como tal no ser tal como é, enfatizando tanto a mistura quanto a completude.
