Publisher Description
What if the nature of reality is built on contradictions?
In Parmenides, Plato presents a dialogue unlike any other—one that turns philosophy inward to critique its own foundations. Through a dramatic meeting between Socrates and Parmenides, we’re led into the depths of metaphysical inquiry. Is the theory of Forms coherent? Can one truly speak of “being” without paradox?
This modern adaptation brings clarity to Plato’s dense logic and rigorous questioning, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in one of philosophy’s greatest challenges.
What you’ll discover inside:
• A sharp critique of the theory of Forms by the philosopher who first developed it
• A journey through eight logical hypotheses that test the meaning of unity and being
• The philosophical origins of metaphysics and dialectical reasoning
• A clear, modernized translation that makes complex thought more accessible
Begin your journey into the heart of ancient metaphysical philosophy today with Parmenides—Plato’s boldest and most enigmatic dialogue.

About the Authors
Plato (circa 423–347 BC) was a philosopher in ancient Greece and the founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Plato, together along with his teacher, Socrates, and his most famous student, Aristotle, laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science. He is widely considered the most pivotal figure in the development of philosophy, especially philosophy of the Western tradition.
Julius Caesar (100 BC–44 BC) was a military general and leading politician in the Roman republic. His family, the Julii, claimed descent from the ancient kings of Rome and from the goddess Venus. Caesar rapidly carved out an impressive political career, forging an alliance with Pompey and Crassus in 60 BC. The Civil War is Caesar’s attempt at an explanation of the war that changed the Roman world.
