	Zeno of Elea - Greek Philosopher - Crystalinks
		In the dialogue, Plato describes a visit to Athens by Zeno and Parmenides, at a time when Parmenides is "about 65", Zeno is "nearly 40" and Socrates is "a very young man" (Parmenides 127).
		Although written nearly a century after Zeno's death, the primary source of biographical information of Zeno is the dialogue of Plato called the Parmenides.
		Plato also has Zeno say that this work, "meant to protect the arguments of Parmenides" was written in Zeno's youth, stolen, and published without his consent.

	prmds10.txt
		The Parmenides belongs to that stage of the dialogues of Plato in which he is partially under their influence, using them as a sort of 'critics or diviners' of the truth of his own, and of the Eleatic theories.
		The paradoxes of Parmenides seem trivial to us, because the words to which they relate have become trivial; their true nature as abstract terms is perfectly understood by us, and we are inclined to regard the treatment of them in Plato as a mere straw-splitting, or legerdemain of words.
		But, without digressing further from the immediate subject of the Parmenides, we may remark that Plato is quite serious in his objections to his own doctrines: nor does Socrates attempt to offer any answer to them.

	Zeno of Elea
		Certainly Zeno was greatly influenced by the arguments of Parmenides and Plato tells us that the two philosophers visited Athens together in around 450 BC.
		Despite Plato's description of the visit of Zeno and Parmenides to Athens, it is far from universally accepted that the visit did indeed take place.
		Given the best estimates of the dates of birth of these three philosophers, Socrates would be about 20, Zeno about 40, and Parmenides about 65 years of age at the time, so Plato's claim is certainly possible.

	The Review of Metaphysics: Plato's 'Parmenides': a dramatic reading.@ HighBeam Research
		A dramatic interpretation of Plato's 'Parmenides' suggests that this work demonstrates the need for Socrates to develop philosophy in a new direction because he could not continue in the way of the earlier Eleatic philosophers.
		Although modern commentators usually describe Plato's Parmenides as a middle to late dialogue, it contains the earliest Socratic conversation recounted in the...

	The symbolic structure of Plato's Parmenides
		Then obviously, Parmenides sees himself as the discoverer of the true intelligible "idea", thus standing in the place of the stranger, and his beloved pupil Zeno should be by that time the true visible philosophos that Socrates tries to become.
		Parmenides alone stays in place in the fourth segment, in the same place as the Stranger.

	Parmenides' Impossibilties - Philosophy
		For those who wonder if Socrates ever loses an argument Plato wrote the Parmenides.
		This portion cannot be thought of as a part, this is one of Parmenides impossibilities, because a whole with parts isn’t one but many and the forms are to be one.
		While Parmenides points out the holes in the theory of forms this doesn’t sound its dirge.

		Schofield, emphasizing the tentative dialectical method of the Parmenides, focuses on the so-called second version of the Third Man Argument, arguing that it is a Form of Likeness that generates the vicious regress and that Plato wishes to explore the consequences for eliminating this Form and others like it.
		For example, I once had occasion to catalogue twenty-two distinct and mutually exclusive interpretations of the Parmenides, a dialogue that is generally recognized as the gateway to the later works.
		In the present case, it is a question of the Protagoreanism of the Theaetetus, the view that "man is the measure of all things," and Plato's assessment of this view for the sensible world.

	EAWC Essay: Plato and His Dialogues
		This position was held, in the time of Plato, by Isocrates, the most brilliant disciple of Gorgias (and the head of a very successful school in Athens that was competing with the Academy), who, unable to understand the difference between Socrates and Euthydemus, considered platonic dialectic to be mere hair-splitting with no practical application.
		I prefer to suppose that, if there is an "evolution" from dialogue to dialogue, it is not Plato's evolution, at least not his evolution while writing the dialogues, but the evolution that is necessary from a pedagogical standpoint to adapt to the progress of the reader as he proceeds through the dialogues.
		All quotations from Plato's dialogues and other works refer to the pagination of a Renaissance edition by Henri Estienne, called the Stephanus Edition, which is reproduced in most modern editions and translations.

	ClassicNotes: Plato
		Aristotle reports that during his youth, Plato also became familiar with the teachings of Cratylus, a student of Heraclitus, and other Presocratic thinkers, such as Pythagoras and Parmenides, providing the young philosopher with a worthy introduction to the foundations of Greek metaphysics and epistemology.
		The works produced in these years: Theaetetus, Parmenides, Philebus, Laws, and Timaeus, constitute the "later" period and contain some of Plato's most profound meditations on the nature of knowledge, perception, and subjectivity.
		Plato's father died when Plato was a young child; his mother, unable to support Plato, his two older brothers Adeimantus and Glaucon, and his young sister Potone on her own, remarried to Pyrilampes, an associate of the statesman Pericles.

	Plato's Parmenides
		NOTE: This outline of the dialogue's structure follows that of R.E. Allen in his book, Plato's Parmenides: Translation and Analysis (Minnesota 1983).
		This part of the dialogue has been seen as an exercise in dialectic for Plato's students, as a philosphical joke, or as a dense maze in which we must pick out certain pointers toward the truth about participation and Forms.
		Part III involves a complex succession of proofs about Unity (which is supposed to be Parmenides' own One Being, but seems more like a form of Unity).

	As we began our lecture on Parmenides of Elea, Professor Hutchinson indicated that there are two unique elements in the study of Parmenides’ thought
		The professor tells us that Plato also had this insight to Parmenides, and Plato believed that what can truly be grounds for knowledge that is true has to be a thing that is permanent in existence.
		According to Professor Hutchinson, the “over-serious” tone of Parmenides’ poem is evidence of the rigid Greek metre that is also found in Homeric poetry, and this allows us to detect that the texts are authentic quotations of Parmenides instead of a loose paraphrase, which is often a combination of “light” and “heavy” verse.

	Parmenides (dialogue) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Parmenides is one of the dialogues of Plato.
		The Parmenides purports to be an account of a meeting between the two great philosophers of the Eleatic school, Parmenides and Zeno of Elea, and a very young Socrates.
		Parmenides suggests that when he is older and more committed to philosophy, he will not be so deferent to public opinion and will admit Forms of even the lowest objects.

	Parmenides, Stage 2
		The best response to Parmenides here is to point out (as Plato did) that not all denials are denials of existence.
		Parmenides does not seem to give any argument against plurality, but the tradition has counted him as a monist, who believes that reality is one and that there cannot be a plurality of things.
		Parmenides might, however, reach the same conclusion by a different route: movement is just a kind of change (change of location), and change cannot occur unless temporal differences are real.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.04.53
		For Parmenides, differently than Plato, there is no distinction between 'being' and 'appearing': things or beings are particularizations of the fact of being and not appearances of it.
		In Chapter 4 C. observes that Parmenides expresses the idea of being through different forms of the verb 'to be', but he begins with the conjugated verb in the present tense in order to avoid any kind of 'reification' of the notion and especially in order to stress the reference to the present moment.

		She suggests that one should not perceive the person portrayed therein as a historical figure, bearing in mind that "the purpose of the dialogue is to explore and to criticize certain aspects of Plato's Theory of Forms, especially the relation of participation, and the conception of Forms at work in the theory" (240).
		Parmenides influenced the pluralists' theories in two fundamental aspects: in their conceptions of the fundamental entities and in form.
		A preconception that the arguments of Parmenides are crucial for all subsequent Presocratic thought, which is represented as a series of answers to these arguments, is also commonplace.
