Keywords: Thales; water; interpretation; testimonies; Aristotle;
Summary/Abstract: In this paper I will present several possible theoretical interpretations of the testimonies of Thales’ thesis that water is ἀρχὴ. I will try to show that none of these interpretations can integrate even all Aristotle’s testimonies. I will try to show that these testimonies lead to contradiction, and that from this fact follows the irreconcilability of these interpretations.
