Abstract
Suite a un precedent article consacre a la these aristotelicienne selon laquelle les philosophes preplatoniciens ne faisaient pas de distinction entre perception et pensee (in «Phronesis», 41, 1996, pp. 158 sqq), l'A. examine le debat contemporain sur la notion de perception chez Parmenide et Heraclite, a la lumiere des preuves sur la distinction entre sensation et raison apportees par la tradition exegetique de Sextus Empiricus et Diogene Laerce. L'A. aboutit au paradoxe selon lequel les deux philosophes presocratiques ont cherche a etablir une doctrine du logos (le raisonnement de Parmenide, l'explicaiton d'Heraclite) mais n'ont pas developpe une doctrine de la perception sensorielle comme Empedocle, Anaxagore, Diogene d'Apollonie et Democrite
