Parmenides by Plato (Greek: Παρμενίδης) is one of the dialogues of Plato. It is widely considered to be one of the most challenging and enigmatic of Plato’s dialogues.
The
Parmenides purports to be an account of a meeting between the two great philosophers of the Eleatic school, Parmenides and Zeno of Elea, and a young Socrates. The occasion of the meeting was the reading by Zeno of his treatise defending Parmenidean monism against those partisans of plurality who asserted that Parmenides’ supposition that there is a one gives rise to intolerable absurdities and contradictions.
The dialogue is set during a supposed meeting between Parmenides and Zeno of Elea in Socrates’ hometown of Athens. This dialogue is chronologically the earliest of all as Socrates is only nineteen years old here. It is also notable that he takes the position of the student here while Parmenides serves as the lecturer.
The whole dialogue is likely fictitious as Parmenides and Zeno of Elea lived in Southern Italy which was in the process of being colonized by Greeks at the time.
