Publisher Description John Palmer presents a new and original account of Platos uses and understanding of his most important Presocratic predecessor, Parmenides. Adopting an innovative approach to the appraisal of intellectual influence, Palmer first explores the Eleatic underpinnings of central elements in Platos middle-period epistemology and metaphysics. He then shows how in the later dialogues Plato confronts various sophistic appropriations of Parmenides while simultaneouslydeveloping his own deepened understanding. Along the way Palmer gives fresh readings of Parmenides poem in the light of the Platonic reception, and discusses Platos view of Parmenides relation to suchkey figures as Xenophanes, Zeno, and Gorgias. By tracing connections among the uses of Parmenides over the course of several dialogues, Palmer both demonstrates his fundamental importance to the development of Platos thought and furthers understanding of central problems in Platos own philosophy.
