The note describes and discusses the central thesis of the volume by L. Rossetti, La filosofia non comincia con Talete, according to which the technical notion of “philosophy”, as it is still understood today, only came into being at the time of Plato, and its backdating to the time of Thales and the so-called physiologoi is to be ascribed to an arbitrary construction by Aristotle and Plato himself. The strength and richness of the arguments put forward in the book are highlighted, but at the same time some objections and critical reservations are expressed.
