Produktdetails
The book begins by introducing Parmenides and his work in the context of Greek philosophy, the new medium of writing and Elea’s position as a recently founded Greek colony. Thereafter, all aspects of his thought are examined in the light of insights given by a variety of authors. This paves the way for a new interpretation of Parmenides which emphasises the relevance of his philosophy for us today. Diagrams illustrate key points. In accordance with the insights gained, the poem is translated in a way that, whilst articulating the rigour of Parmenides’ message, is also playful and sensual. Not herself a philosopher, Sappho’s poems show that she did lead her life according to principles which imply some form of philosophy and her work stands as a shining example of a conception of truth that is integral to Parmenides but which is now long forgotten. After an introduction, Sappho and her conception of truth and beauty are articulated via a series of translations of the more extent surviving fragments.
