Permanities - The Way of Truth and the Way of Seeing

Permanities has three basic parts, or at least scholars divide the fragments up into three sort of hypothetical parts. The first part is the poem, the introductory story, which sets the scene and we'll get to that in a minute. And the other two sections are conventionally known as the way of truth, and the way of seeming or opinion. It's the way ofTruth where Permanities gets into his metaphysics of ultimate being that blows everyone's mind. But the way of appearing has a lot to offer us as well, although little enough survives a bit.
