Parmenides
English translation of one of the more challenging and enigmatic of Plato's dialogues between Socrates and Parmenides and Zeno of Elea, that begins with Zeno defending his treatise of Parmenidean monism against those partisans of plurality.
This new translation of what may be Plato's most elusive dialogue provides a faithful rendering of the Greek text without sacrificing clarity in English.
Gill's extensive introduction explores and elucidates the dialogue's central themes and offers a compelling interpretation of issues current in scholarly debates on Parmenides.
Also included are helpful notes, an Analysis of the deductions in Part II, and a select bibliography.
