With a new foreword by Scott Austin 'I hope that these essays may
illustrate the thesis that all history is or should be the history
of problem situations, and that in following this principle we may
further our understanding of the Presocratics and other thinkers of
the past. The essays also try to show the greatness of the early
Greek philosophers, who gave Europe its philosophy, its science,
and its humanism.' - Karl Popper, from the preface The World of
Parmenides is a brilliant exploration of the complexity of ancient
Greek thought and science by one of the twentieth century's leading
philosophers. It reveals the great importance of Presocratic
philosophy to Popper's thought as a whole and shows the profound
enlightenment he experienced reading not only Parmenides but the
wider world of Greek science and philosophy including Xenophanes
and Heraclitus. Edited by Arne F. Petersen, Associate Professor in
the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen.

Parmenides and the History of Dialectic is a study of Greek
philosophical method as it affects contemporary philosophical
issues. What was distinctive about the method of Parmenides, the
inventor of philosophical argument as we know it? How did
Parmenides' method affect Plato's dialectic, which was supposed to
provide the solution to all ultimate philosophical problems? How,
in turn, did Plato influence Hegel and our subsequent tradition?
There are many studies of Parmenides' text, its philosophical
content, and its influence. This study aims to do something
different, to look at the form of the argument, the scope of its
positive and negative language, the balanced structure its author
generates, and the clear parallels with Plato's Parmenides. Along
the way, Austin considers issues like these: was Parmenides, an
absolute monist, entitled to speak at all, and in many negative
words at that? How did he think that his own language related to
the reality that he was trying to describe? What was his notion of
the use of metaphor? What logical techniques did he invent? Has his
type of philosophy come to an end?
Filled with practical, step-by-step instructions and clear
explanations for the most important and useful tasks. This is a
