The last twenty years have seen remarkable developments in our understanding of how the ancient Greek thinkers handled the general concept of being and its several varieties. The most general examination of the meaning of the Greek verb 'esti'/'einai'/'on' both in common usage and in the philosophical literature has been presented by Charles H. Kahn, most extensively in his 1973 book The Verb 'Be' in Ancient Greek. These discussions are summarized in Kahn's contribution to this volume. By and large, they show that conceptual schemes by means of which philosophers have recently approached Greek thought have not been very well suited to the way the concept of being was actually used by the ancients. For one thing, being in the sense of existence played a very small role in Greek thinking according to Kahn. Even more importantly, Kahn has argued that Frege and Russell's thesis that verbs for being, such as 'esti', are multiply ambiguous is ill suited for the purpose of appreciating the actual conceptual assumptions of the Greek thinkers. Frege and Russell claimed that a verb like 'is' or'esti' is ambiguous between the 'is' of identity, the 'is' of existence, the copulative 'is', and the generic 'is' (the 'is' of class-inclusion). At least a couple of generations of scholars have relied on this thesis and fre quently criticized sundry ancients for confusing these different senses of 'esti' with each other.

Il est devenu aujourd’hui à la mode de parler de philosophie post-analytique, pour dire que la philosophie analytique a vécu. Une philosophie ne peut prétendre longtemps résoudre les problèmes qu’elle pose en les réduisant à des « questions de mots » ; elle risque alors de s’enliser dans des discussions stériles. Ce péril n’a pas toujours été conjuré parce qu’on a trop souvent négligé la dimension ontologique de la philosophie analytique.La question de la légitimité de la distinction entre sujet et prédicat sert ici de fil directeur à une « relecture » de la philosophie analytique mettant en relief le problème du duralisme ontologique des particuliers et des universels et permettant de dégager des schèmes conceptuels rivaux.Un nouveau schème conceptuel émerge durant l’entre-deux guerres, dans lequel la notion d’événement vient prendre le relais de celle de substance.
