Résumé : Given the richness of ancient philosophical texts, the maintenance of an ambivalence between freedom of interpretation and rigour of analysis requires strategies of appropriation, the fecundity of which depends on the topics treated. These strategies began in Antiquity and appear to have reached their culminating point with the coming of onto-theology as an essential expression of the history of philosophy. The author maintains that this promotion of metaphysics took place at the cost both of the multiple practices of the One and the Many that have held sway since the start of philosophy as well as of the practices of myth, of which Christian revelation is one of the variants. However, he is of the view that it is not sufficient to rehabilitate these overshadowings. Above all, it is necessary to undertake new appropriations of ancient philosophy, among which are found the multiple practices of temporality, the modes of proximity, the duality proper to doxa, as opinion and glory, the multiple practices of the logos and of the diverse narrative forms, as well as the diverse faces of meta-physics: ontology, henology, agathology, diaphorology, and complexity. © 2008 Revue Philosophique de Louvain.
