The Parmenides - by Plato

The Parmenides is a dialogue that examines the theory of forms through a conversation between the young Socrates and the Eleatic philosopher Parmenides. This work presents a series of challenging arguments that test the consistency of Plato's metaphysical theories. The dialogue explores the relationship between unity and multiplicity, being and non-being, through rigorous logical analysis. The Parmenides represents one of Plato's most difficult and profound works, offering a critical examination of the foundations of his philosophy.
