By means of a conversation with the aged philosopher Parmenides, Plato conducts a detailed critical examination of a central tenet of his own philosophy, the Theory of Forms. Parmenides then introduces a series of exercises in dialectic centered on the idea of 'the one'. Many scholars contend that this critique and subsequent intellectual exercise is designed to pave the way for a more mature understanding and defense of the Theory of Forms, but it continues to be a subject of much speculation and fascination. Despite or perhaps because of its complexity, Parmenides is a key work illuminating the later thought of one of the world's most influential philosophers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akasha Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47583851511959,"sku":"9781605125312","price":1462.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781605125312.webp?v=1774947248","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/parmenides-9781605125312","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
