{"product_id":"dialogues-of-plato-volume-4","title":"Dialogues of Plato, Volume 4","description":"Among Plato's later dialogues, the \u003ci\u003eParmenides\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the most significant. Not only a document of profound philosophical importance in its own right, it also contributes to the understanding of Platonic dialogues that followed it, and it exhibits the foundations of the physics and ontology that Aristotle offered in his \u003ci\u003ePhysics\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMetaphysics \u003c\/i\u003eVII.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, R.E. Allen provides a superb translation of the \u003ci\u003eParmenides\u003c\/i\u003e along with a structural analysis that procedes on the assumption that formal elements, logical and dramatic, are important to its interpretation and that the argument of the \u003ci\u003eParmenides\u003c\/i\u003e is aporetic, a statement of metaphysical perplexities. Allen's original translation of and commentary on the \u003ci\u003eParmenides\u003c\/i\u003e were published in 1983 to great acclaim and have now been revised by the author.","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54218933240152,"sku":"9780300077292","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780300077292__676f02fa26458.jpg?v=1741157824","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dialogues-of-plato-volume-4","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
