If you want something that looks at the poetry and the Greek, I'm still partial to my advisor's book: Alex Mourelatos, The Route of Parmenides. And Matt Evans' book will be great when it comes out.

What I object to in #Parmenides has more to do with his attitude toward the senses than his stupid thing about Being

753 followers · 1193 posts · Server writing.exchangeI get #Plato's description of the opposition of #Heraclitus and #Parmenides is wrong (H is not about flux) and I get the superficial similarities in their #philosophy that everyone is misled but they *are* opposed on the only important question, that of the senses, aren't they?

It was #Kant suggesting that, where the #mathematician starts, #philosopher 's work is already done [Über die Deutlichkeit der Grundsätze... §1...]
Of course in a formal system, say #FOL, #identity is simply the strictest equivalence relation, the unit classes of the domain being its equivalence classes. And yes, this is really elementary stuff, high school level, if you like. And no, that's not, why #philosophers at least since #Leibniz (and in a sense since #Parmenides), and more recently #Frege made a case for it.
Typically math philosophical issues with identity from my point of view do include the question of indiscernibles, the sense of an identity statement wrt. redundance, the relation status of identity, ... open list

I'm a professor of #Philosophy and #Classics at #umich, specializing in Greek and Roman philosophy, esp. the philosophy of mind (#intentionality, #consciousness, #MindBody, #perception). I have published mostly on #Aristotle and the #Stoics, but have interests from #Parmenides and #Gorgias through #Augustine.
I love #BaroqueOpera, #KingCrimson, and the game of #Go.

Anyone have a view on Richard Bett vs Christopher Beckwith? They seem to have some tension (reading Beckwith's Greek Buddha and Bett's Cambridge Guide to Ancient Scepticism)
