Plato's <i>Parmenides</i> and Its Heritage: Volume 1: History and Interpretation from the Old Academy to Later Platonism and Gnosticism


Add your own review!

Overview

The theme of Volume 1 is the dissolution of firm boundaries for thinking about the tradition of Parmenides interpretation from the Old Academy through Middle Platonism and Gnosticism. The volume suggests a radically different interpretation of the history of thought from Plato to Proclus than is customary by arguing against Proclus's generally accepted view that there was no metaphysical interpretation of the Parmenides before Plotinus in the third century C.E.
