Plato’s Parmenides is a notoriously challenging dialogue. To provide a completely satisfying interpretation of it, each argument needs to be reconstructed on its own terms and if all the reconstructions are accurate, the logical interconnections among the arguments of both parts of the dialogue should reveal the overall message of the Parmenides. Here I would like to summarize my interpretation, and consider a few prominent objections and alternatives to it, particularly as they appear in the work of Constance Meinwald and Mary Louise Gill. I want to explain why Meinwald’s interpretation is significantly less persuasive than mine and, because Gill and I reach similar conclusions, I want to highlight the important differences between our interpretations.Descargas
