Description
This is an 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.
Parmenides is part of the Focus Philosophical Library translations, which are close to and non-interpretative of the original text. The notes and a glossary are intended to provide the reader with some sense of the terms and the concepts as they were understood by Plato's immediate audience.
