Ed - your last post reflects my reading of the Hegel quote too. Like you, It would seem to me too that Hegel not only has read and cited the Parmenides, but...
Hi all - Ed is in Iowa and is having problems posting to the group. He has asked that I post this message for him. As I understand it, he can read messages...
Michael - you asked that, if Hegel understood the Parmenides, "why is this so rare?" Let me give you my answer under two headings: (1) his understanding of...

This is about the way we think. It is about logic, about the various logics we use when we think. For they are several. This is about some of those several...

Return with me to Alchent's msg of 21 June 14:52:26, wherein he asked, "How are we to think about that which is no longer observed . . . In the outer world...

... "Alchent," thank you. The context of my msg of 6/30 is Plato, Parmenides, Aristotle, and the rest of western tradition. This is not to gainsay Hindu,...
Ed - it is always good to get messages like this to start the week off right. I thought your quotes vis-à-vis eastern philosophy were right on the mark. I...
... Michael - Thank you. "Allegorical analysis was almost comical and like all good literary criticism, a fiction in its own right." So is myth. That's often...
This may have been sent before a couple of years ago, but ... PLATO'S PARMENIDES: REVERSALS OF THE HYPOTHESES The eight hypotheses that form the main part of...
... Michael - Let me return to your question of yesterday, "Are there any other instances of attempting to map the Eight Hypotheses to another paradigm? I...
Michael I am not entirely satisfied with Cornford. In his translation he tends to leave out the replies of Aristotle as being unimportant. Why did Plato ...
... Michael - Time to play. What happens when we take the neoplatonist paradigm, and turn it into a twenty first century one? Sociology trumps theology. The...
And what of Brumbaugh's _Plato on the One_(Yale University Press in 1961)? Any opinions on this one? Michael Meachen Technology Resources, John Hancock Funds ...
Ed - you present a tempting challenge here. I am pre-occupied now in reading what those in the past have had to say about the Parmenides. But I'll grant, there...
... Michael - You write, "I am reading what those in the past have had to say about the Parmenides. But there is a call for a modern philosophy . . . " Well,...
... PROCLUS' COMMENTARY ON THE PARMENIDES Michael - The neoplatonists were very strong on Plato's Parmenides, as Proclus' Commentary on it shows. Our...
Ed; you stated last week, "I am not trying to start a novel philosophy. I am just trying to understand Plato and Parmenides, albeit also in terms of our own...
... Michael, I must confess that your leading paragraph, "It would seem to me that . . . " yesterday means almost nothing to me. Perhaps it is like the...
... The Number of Hypotheses in Plato's Parmenides The neoplatonist view (nine) seems to have been derived originally from Plato's remark in the Timaeus 35A on...

Ed, Your eight-fold scheme for the Hypotheses appears to ignore a very important symmetry. Recall that each Hypothesis can be (broadly) characterized as...
... NEOPLATONISM What is to be our attitude toward the neoplatonists? They took Plato's Parmenides and much else of Greek philosophy, and gave it a religious...
... Dear Observer, I cannot agree with you. The protasis of the first Hypothesis is a positive one: if there IS a One . . . The same observation applies to...
Ed, Thanks for your reply. I've been accustomed to talking to myself about *Parmenides* for quite a long time, so I've come to use certain expressions that...
... Dear Observer, I. Thank you for clearing up your point. We all have from time to time that difficulty you name in your first paragraph. If I understand you...
Ed, Continuing the conversation, I'll append some comments on your last post. ***** Comment 1 ***** You write: (begin quote) III. Now about the end of the...
