I think there are three ways to see "The One". The ultimate Good and the source of all reality, our consciousness for when we think, and literally the number '1', each are different ways for how we understand the nature of existence (being). We think about being either by our understanding, our experience, our ideas, our contemplation or our lack of contemplation (Heidegger, e.g.). Each is equally valid in its on way. I've recently read Hegel's Phenomenology and that led me to his "Science ofOn things, ideas, properties. Plato suggests monism and forms are cul-de-sacs. Where next? His method of division and, better, a rejection of forms?
Tricked myself into reading this. I'd like to read Plotinus, because there is something mysterious and intoxicating in what little of him I've approached. It's not like philosophy as I've typically been interested in; it's quasi-religious, and quasi-religion is something that interests me at present also. There's essentially no point in reading Plotinus without a strong grasp of, and relationship with, Plato's theory of forms.Now, I studied the Republic back when I was a teenager. Come out of
Of all Plato's dialogues, Parmenides remains the most controversial. fascinating opus of which the Neo-Platonists have made their laboratory; a confusing work in which we could see a simple logical exercise ... The new translation proposed here could not do without a new reading. Where it will be seen that Plato, in order to test the hypothesis of the existence of an intelligible world in which the sensible world in which we are evolving, does not neglect the history of philosophy: at Parmenides
If the Mad Hatter ever wrote a philosophy book, this would be it. Even scholars can't make any sense of it.
Notes on Parménides1. By Zeus, this one went completely over my head. Parménides has a reputation among the Platonic oeuvre of being rather obscure and confusing so I came to it with my intellectual weapons charged and ready; it wasn't enough. That reputation is well earned. In contrasting his beloved theory of Forms to Parménides' Monism, Platón creates a dense forest of impossible arguments, each one of them harder to follow than the previous one, until reducing the reader's brain to a pulp of
The contrast between Parmenides and Heraclitus is stark and their differences led to deeper and more rugged philosophies, like the skepticism of the Sophists. Perhaps, both Parmenides and Heraclitus, could have benefited from the relative perspectives of the sophist. They both were similar by their inquiry which was not dependent on god(s?) and with their absolutist approach. "Being (it is) signifies something as omnipresent/universal and for Parmenides it is forever identical and unchanging.
