"Plato s "Parmenides" and Its Heritage" presents in two volumes
ground-breaking results in the history of interpretation of Plato s
"Parmenides," the culmination of six years of international
collaboration by the SBL Annual Meeting seminar, Rethinking Plato s
Parmenides and Its Platonic, Gnostic and Patristic Reception (2001
2007). The theme of Volume 1 is the dissolution of firm boundaries
for thinking about the tradition of Parmenides interpretation from
the Old Academy through Middle Platonism and Gnosticism. The volume
suggests a radically different interpretation of the history of
thought from Plato to Proclus than is customary by arguing against
Proclus s generally accepted view that there was no metaphysical
interpretation of the Parmenides before Plotinus in the third
century C.E. Instead, this volume traces such metaphysical
interpretations, first, to Speusippus and the early Platonic
Academy; second, to the Platonism of the first and second centuries
C.E. in figures like Moderatus and Numenius; third, to the
emergence of an exegetical tradition that read Aristotle s
categories in relation to the Parmenides; and, fourth, to important
Middle Platonic figures and texts. The contributors to Volume 1 are
Kevin Corrigan, Gerald Bechtle, Luc Brisson, John Dillon, Thomas
Szlez k, Zlatko Ple e, Noel Hubler, John D. Turner, Johanna
Brankaer, Volker Henning Drecoll, and Alain Lernould.
