What if reality is nothing like we imagine?
Parmenides is one of Plato's most intellectually demanding dialogues-an essential philosophical text that questions the nature of existence, knowledge, and truth. This dialogue presents a fictional conversation where the young Socrates is challenged by the elder Parmenides and Zeno of Elea, forcing him-and the reader-to confront the weaknesses in the theory of Forms.
Plato does not provide easy answers. Instead, he leads us through a labyrinth of reasoning that deconstructs assumptions and pushes the limits of logic and dialectic. This modern translation is designed for the contemporary reader-preserving Plato's brilliance while clarifying his meaning.
