Ă propos de ce livre
Plato's Parmenides presents the modern reader with a puzzle. Noted for being the most difficult of Platonic dialogues, it is also one of the most influential. This new edition of the work includes the Greek text on facing pages, with an English translation by Arnold Hermann in collaboration with Sylvana Chrysakopoulou. The Introduction provides an overview and commentary aimed at scholars and first time readers alike.

FilosofĂa antigua y clĂĄsicaTEXT AND TRANSLATION*
* From the Preface to PLATO IV, Loeb Classical Library 167: The Greek text is based upon the Codex Bodleianus or Clarkianus (B) and the Codex Venetus Append. Class. 4, cod. 1 (T). Readings not supported by either of these, and occasionally disagreements between these two manuscripts themselves, are noted in the footnotes. Later hands of these manuscripts are designated by the letters b and t. Other manuscripts occasionally mentioned are Codex Venetus Append. Class. 4, cod. 54 (G), and Codex Vindobonensis 54, Suppl. Phil. Gr. 7 (W).
FIRST ARGUMENT
âWell then,â said Parmenides, ââif it is oneâ, 53 would not the one be something other than the many?â
â âHow could it be [many]?â
PARTS/WHOLE
âThen, there must not be a part of it, nor can it be a whole.â
â âWhy?â
âFor a part is presumably a part of a whole.â
â âYes.â
âBut what is the whole? Wouldnât that from which no part is missing be a whole?â
â âCertainly.â
âIn both cases, then, the one would consist of parts, since it would be whole and would have parts.â
â âNecessarily.â
âIn that way, in both cases the one would be many, rather than one.â
â âTrue.â [137d]
âYet it must not be many, but one.â
â âIt must.â
âThus, if the one is to be one, it will neither be a whole nor have parts.â
â âNo, it wonât.â
LIMITED/UNLIMITED
âThen, if it has no part, it would neither have a beginning, nor an end, nor a middle, for these kind of things would be parts of it.â
â âQuite right.â
âFurthermore, âendâ and âbeginningâ are the limit of each thing.â
â âHow could they not be?â
âTherefore, if the one has neither beginning nor end, it is limitless.â
â âYes.â
NO SHAPE
âAnd consequently, it is without shape; for it partakes in neither round nor straight.â
â âHow so?â [137e]
âFor the round is presumably that whose extremities are everywhere equidistant from its center.â
â âYes.â
âAnd straight is that of which the middle stands in between both extremities.â
â âSo it is.â
âSo the one would have parts and be many, if it were to partake in either a straight or a round shape.â
â âCertainly.â
âTherefore, it is neither straight nor round, since it has no parts either.â [138]
â âCorrect.â
NEITHER IN ITSELF, NOR IN ANOTHERâNOWHERE
âFurthermore, being of such a kind, it would be nowhere, because it would be neither in another nor in itself.â
â âHow so?â
âIf it were in another, it would presumably be surrounded all around by that in which it would be contained, and it would be in contact with this thing in many places with many parts. But since it is one and without parts, and since it does not partake of all-aroundness, it cannot possibly be in contact all around in many different places.â
â âIt could not.â
âYet, conversely, if it were in itself, what contains it would be no different than itself, if indeed it were in itself, for it is impossible for a thing [138b] to be in something that does not contain it.â
â âImpossible indeed.â
âSo the container itself would be one thing, and the contained another, because the same thing as a whole will not be able both to undergo and to act at the same time. And so the one would no longer be one but two.â
â âIt would not.â
âTherefore the one is not anywhere, neither in itself nor in another.â
â âIt is not.â
MOTION/REST
âIf this is the case, consider then whether it can be at rest or in motion.â 61 â
âYes, why not?â
âBecause if it were in motion it would either change place or alter its character, since these are the only motions.â 62 â
âYes.â
âBut it is impossible for the one to alter itself and still be somehow one.â [138c]
â âImpossible.â
âSo it does not move by altering its character.â
â âApparently not.â
âBut by changing place?â
â âPerhaps.â
âAnd yet if the one moved spatially, then it would either revolve around itself or change from one place to another.â
â âNecessarily.â
âWell, if it r...
