关于此电子书
In "Parmenides," Plato presents a profound philosophical dialogue that explores the nature of reality, existence, and the essence of being. The text is structured as a conversation primarily between Socrates and the eponymous philosopher Parmenides, who challenges the very foundations of Socratic thought and introduces the notion of the Forms as a means of understanding abstract concepts. The dialogue is marked by its intricate dialectical style and rich metaphorical language, engaging with pre-Socratic ideas and laying the groundwork for later philosophical inquiry into metaphysics and epistemology. Plato, a student of Socrates and a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, wrote this dialogue during a period of intense intellectual curiosity about the nature of existence. Influenced by the works of earlier philosophers such as Parmenides and Heraclitus, Plato's exploration of the contrasting views on unity and multiplicity reflects his quest for a more profound understanding of reality. His quest is not just for knowledge but emphasizes the role of dialectic reasoning in philosophical discourse, seen throughout his writings. "Parmenides" is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of philosophical thought. It invites readers to engage with complex ideas and challenges us to reconsider our understanding of reality. This dialogue is not only a foundational text for philosophy students but also a compelling exploration of the metaphysics of existence that resonates across centuries, urging contemporary readers to reflect on their own beliefs about the nature of truth and knowledge.
作者简介
Plato, born around 428/427 BCE and having lived until approximately 348/347 BCE, was an illustrious Greek philosopher, a prolific writer and the founder of the Academy in Athens, one of the earliest institutions of higher learning in the Western world. Plato was a student of Socrates and later the teacher of Aristotle, forming a foundation of what would come to be known as the triumvirate of ancient Greek philosophy. His works have been influential in the development of Western philosophy, religion, and spirituality. The dialogue 'Parmenides' is one of his metaphysical pieces and part of his middle period works. In this dialogue, Plato probes the theory of forms, a central aspect of his philosophical thought. The work is a dialogue between Socrates, the young Parmenides, and Zeno, wherein Parmenides expounds on the one and the many, leading to profound implications for the nature of reality. Plato's writing style in 'Parmenides' and his other dialogues is characterized by rigorous argumentation, dialectic method, and a search for definitions aimed at uncovering philosophical truths. His dialogues are treasured not only for their philosophical insights but also for their literary craftsmanship and their influence can be felt in a myriad of disciplines beyond philosophy, including political theory, ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics.
