          Abstract

          Resumo: A dispetto della stroncatura di Aristotele, Ippone, nel V secolo a.C., si dimostra un pensatore ben inserito nelle correnti culturali più vive ed interessanti del suo secolo. Accomunato ai Milesi per aver posto l’acqua come principio di tutte le cose, è stato considerato anche un pitagorico per aver affermato l’importanza del gioco dei contrari nel nascere e nell’evolversi delle cose. In realtà, queste caratterizzazioni si dimostrano piuttosto generiche, e l’appartenenza a questa o a quella scuola non dà ragione della specificità della sua posizione nell’ambiente culturale mediterraneo e magno-greco, specificità ben rinvenibile anche nella scarsezza delle testimonianze. Più che l’acqua, per Ippone, ammesso che abbia voluto stabilire un’arché di tutte le cose, è l’umido a giocare un ruolo fondamentale nell’essere e nel divenire delle cose. In questo articolo si tenta anche di tracciare un profilo della storia dell’umido, dai Milesi a Eraclito, ad Alcmeone, a Diogene di Apollonia, fino a Democrito. E si vuole inoltre sottolineare come esso rientri anche nel campo specifico delle sue riflessioni, incentrate soprattutto nel campo biologico ed embriologico, riflessioni sempre obbedienti, più che a teorie generali, all’osservazione dell’esperienza concreta.

          Abstract: In spite of Aristotle's criticism, Hippo, in the 5th century BC, proved to be a thinker well inserted in the most lively and interesting cultural trends of his century. Associated with the Milesians for having set water as the principle of all things, he was also considered a Pythagorean for having affirmed the importance of the play of opposites in the birth and evolution of things. In reality, these characterizations prove to be rather generic, and belonging to this or that school does not give an account of the specificity of his position in the Mediterranean and Magna Grecia cultural milieu, a specificity that can also be seen in the scarcity of evidence. More than water, for Ippone, assuming that he wanted to establish an arché of all things, it is the wet that plays a fundamental role in the being and becoming of things. This article also attempts to outline the history of moisture, from the Milesians to Heraclitus, Alcmeon, Diogenes of Apollonia, and Democritus. We also wish to emphasize how this is part of the specific field of his reflections, focused above all on the biological and embryological fields, reflections that are always obedient, rather than to general theories, to the observation of concrete experience.
