In After Parmenides, Tom Rockmore takes us all the way back to the
beginning of philosophy when Parmenides asserted that thought and
being are one: what we know is what is. This idea created a
division between what the mind constructs as knowable entities and
the idea that there is also a mind-independent real, which we can
know or fail to know. To counter this, Rockmore argues that we need
to give up on the idea of this real, and instead focus on the
objects of cognition that our mind constructs. Though we cannot
know mind-independent objects as they "really" are, we can and do
know objects as they appear to us. If we construct the object we
seek to know, then it corresponds to what we think about it. After
Parmenides charts the continual engagement with these ideas of real
and the knowable throughout philosophical history from Plato and
Aristotle to Descartes, Kant, Fichte, Hegel, and Schopenhauer,
Marx, and others. This ambitious book shows how new connections can
be made in the history of philosophy when it is reread through a
new lens.
