Plato 428? BCE-348? BCE creator Jowett, Benjamin 1817-1893 text utu 1999 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Parmenides" by Plato is a dialogue written in ancient Greece. It depicts a young Socrates meeting the renowned philosophers Parmenides and Zeno, who challenge his Theory of Forms. Through rigorous questioning, Parmenides presents five complex arguments that expose potential contradictions in Socrates' distinction between eternal Forms and particular things. The work reverses the usual dynamic, positioning Socrates as student rather than teacher, and explores fundamental questions about unity, plurality, and the nature of reality itself.
