Example text

Roots" means radical and elemental, surely, but it also may be the image of rhizomatic thinking that may underlie Empedoc1es' self-description of moving back and forth to construct his poem. " (Fr. " (Quoted by Burger 33) Empedocles means to build a coherence, not merely "to display" ad lib. alI on one level. Empedoc1es had a rhizomatic method leading to but not necessarily succeeding at an organicaHy, integrated, unified text, of which we have only fragments, and not the rhizomatic thinking of Deleuze and Guattari, which would dissolve entirely any means of grasping both the historical and philosophical subjects of the fragments.

In this line, my favorite fragment is Diels 109a. " AH this uncertainty could bury any interpretative essay under textual problems, methodological apparatus, and solutions. Havelock's suggestion mentioned earlier, that "a metalanguage be imposed" is the opposite of giving the philological history of each fragment and worrying each controversial detail with extensive footnoting. (That kind of book 22 SIDNEY FESHBACH is D. O'Brien's Empedocles' Cosmic Cycle: A Reconstruction from the Fragments and Secondary Sources, which seeks to distill from most of the fragments and from historical reports like Aristotle's its necessary Empedoclean message: 1 am not convinced this is possible, no less that O'Brien's argument is successful.

This intentional tendency lends clarity to the statements but, ultimately, it becomes excessively limiting, resulting in inventions of solutions to problems, such as porosity of the sensoria, that are not solutions at alI. In my reading of the fragments the system was not given in one whole, but evolved without any discernible logic, except, if we follow his description of himself, by accretion.
