A Study of Dialectic in Plato's Parmenides (Paperback)

In this book, Eric Sanday boldly demonstrates that Plato’s
“theory of forms” is true, easy to understand, and relatively
intuitive. Sanday argues that our chief obstacle to understanding
the theory of forms is the distorting effect of the tacit
metaphysical privileging of individual things in our everyday
understanding. For Plato, this privileging of things that we can
own, produce, exchange, and through which we gain mastery of our
surroundings is a significant obstacle to philosophical education.
The dialogue’s chief philosophical work, then, is to destabilize
this false privileging and, in Parmenides, to provide the initial
framework for a newly oriented account of participation. Once we do
this, Sanday argues, we more easily can grasp and see the truth of
the theory of forms.
