Parmenides, the ancient Greek poet who is known as the father of
logical thought, has been a decisive influence in shaping the whole
course of Western philosophy and is a crucial figure in determining
how we understand the ancient world. But there are some disturbing
details in his own poetry, together with occasional remarks made by
other ancient writers, that have always cast a long shadow of doubt
over the standard view of him as a purely rational thinker. Then,
in the 1950s, a series of inscriptions was unearthed at Parmenides'
hometown in southern Italy which has thrown a totally new light on
the nature and purpose of his philosophy. This book brings the key
evidence together and presents a new picture of him as priest,
initiate and healer.
