Parmenides, Plato and Mortal Philosophy : Return From Transcendence, Hardback Book

Parmenides, Plato and Mortal Philosophy : Return From Transcendence Hardback

Part of the Continuum Studies in Ancient Philosophy series

Hardback

Description

In a new interpretation of Parmenides philosophical poem On Nature, Vishwa Adluri considers Parmenides as a thinker of mortal singularity, a thinker who is concerned with the fate of irreducibly unique individuals.

Adluri argues that the tripartite division of Parmenides poem allows the thinker to brilliantly hold together the paradox of speaking about being in time and articulates a tragic knowing: mortals may aspire to the transcendence of metaphysics, but are inescapably returned to their mortal condition.Parmenides.
