The Dialogues of Plato, Volume 4: Plato’s Parmenides, Revised Edition by Plato (PDF)

Description

In this superb translation of the Parmenides, Allen brings one of Plato`s most significant later dialogues to a broad readership. This work is of profound philosophical importance in its own right, and it also contributes to the understanding of Plato`s subsequent dialogues, Aristotle`s criticisms of Plato, his testimony about Plato, and the origins of his own doctrines.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I got this book to help me compare and contrast the Platonic Dialogue to the ancient Presocratic poem. The notes are great, and its a very good translation. If you want to dig deep into the dialogue, buy this book.

⭐This in-depth study should dispel the misguided belief that Plato’s “Parmenides” is an exercise in spinning aporiae, or intellectual puzzles. Scolincov’s penetrating analysis and exegesis excavates the battle of wits going on between these seminal figures in western philosophy, and illuminates their competing conceptions of what it means for things to exist. The metaphysical and epistemological issues at stake raise important methodological considerations, and in this dialog we can clearly see the profound influence of Parmenides and Zeno on Socrates’ dialectical method.I am grateful for Scolnicov’s magisterial guide work through this extremely difficult dialog – it has deepened my understanding and appreciation for Plato and Parmenides considerably.

⭐Faltan buenos estudios sobre el Parménides. Muchas de las tesis de Allen solo dificultan la comprensión del texto platónico.
