Gerard Naddaf fait appel a l’histoire, a la mythologie et a la linguistique pour remonter a l’origine du concept grec de phusis et pour decrire son evolution. Habituellement traduit par “nature” (a partir du latin natura), le terme phusis a joue un role determinant dans l’histoire de la philosophie aussi bien a ses debuts qu’au cours de ses developpements ulterieurs. Pourtant, il reste toujours aussi difficile de savoir ce que les premiers penseurs – Anaximandre, Xenophane, Pythagore, Heraclite, Parmenide, Empedocle, Anaxagore, Leucippe et Democrite – entendaient lorsqu’ils l’utilisaient. Dans ce livre, Naddaf veut montrer que le sens etymologique original de ce terme fait reference au processus global de croissance d’une chose, depuis sa naissance jusqu’a sa maturite. Il explique comment, dans la fameuse formule Peri phuseos ou Historia peri phuseos, le terme phusis fait reference a l’origine et a la constitution de l’univers, depuis ses debuts jusqu’a son terme. A partir de la, Gerard Naddaf est amene a proposer une theorie hardie et originale sur les origines de la pensee philosophique en Grece ancienne, ou l’origine du monde, celle de l’homme et celle de la cite apparaissent indissociables.
