Abstract

In the second book of the Metaphysics (II 1, 993b, 11-15), speaking of research on the truth, Aristotle mentions the value of the contribution of their predecessors. There, Aristotle emphasizes that even those who have studied the nature of the things superficially have made a contribution in that search. In this book, the philosophy seems to be conceived as a cooperative task in which participates, somehow, the whole philosophical tradition. For this motive, in this paper, we attempt to explore around this conception of philosophy, emphasizing Aristotle’s use of the opinions of his predecessors. One of the notions on which we focus is éndoxa and the role that it plays in Aristotelian epistemology.
