Parmenides

Book • 2017
Plato's "Parmenides" is a dialogue that presents a series of challenging arguments against Plato's own theory of Forms.

Parmenides, a pre-Socratic philosopher, raises objections to the theory, prompting Socrates and others to grapple with its implications.

The dialogue explores the complexities of metaphysical concepts and the difficulties of formulating coherent theories of reality.

Parmenides is a sophisticated exploration of metaphysics and logic, demonstrating Plato's willingness to engage with criticisms of his own ideas.

It remains a challenging but rewarding text for those interested in the intricacies of philosophical debate.
