Publisher Description Parmenides delves into a profound philosophical discussion centered around Socrates challenge to the revered Parmenides and Zeno. Employing the reductio ad absurdum method, Zeno argues against the pluralist view that things can be both like and unlike, which Socrates counters by introducing the concept of Forms, distinct from sensibles. This sets the stage for Parmenides to scrutinize Socrates Theory of Forms through a series of intricate arguments. The latter part of the dialogue shifts to Parmenides guiding a young Aristoteles through a challenging exercise in dialectic, further exploring themes of unity, plurality, and the nature of existence.Parmenides is significant for its deep exploration of the Theory of Forms, where Parmenides critiques Socrates ideas through a series of intricate arguments, pushing the boundaries of philosophical thought on the nature of reality, unity, and plurality. This works historical importance lies in its profound influence on subsequent philosophical discourse, highlighting complex themes and inspiring extensive scholarly debate on metaphysics and epistemology.This case laminate collectors edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket. Author Biography Plato (c.428 to c.347 bc) was an Athenian philosopher during the Classical period in Ancient Greece, founder of the Platonist school of thought, and the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. He is widely considered the pivotal figure in the history of Ancient Greek and Western philosophy, along with his teacher, Socrates, and his most famous student, Aristotle. Plato was the innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms in philosophy. Plato is also considered the founder of Western political philosophy. His most famous contribution is the theory of Forms known by pure reason, in which Plato presents a solution to the problem of universals known as Platonism (also ambiguously called either Platonic realism or Platonic idealism. He is also the namesake of Platonic love and the Platonic solids. His own most decisive philosophical influences are usually thought to have been along with Socrates, the pre-Socratics Pythagoras, Heraclitus and Parmenides, although few of his predecessors works remain extant and much of what we know about these figures today derives from Plato himself. Unlike the work of nearly all of his contemporaries, Platos entire body of work is believed to have survived intact for over 2,400 years. Although their popularity has fluctuated over the years, the works of Plato have never been without readers since the time they were written.
