Plato's Parmenides: analysis.
Subject: The "Parmenides" is one of the most difficult and controversial of Plato's dialogues. In "Plato's Parmenides" R. E. Allen undertakes a structural analysis of the dialogue. His aim is to use the structure of the "Parmenides" as a control on the interpretation of individual passages, to solve the dialogue as one might crack a code. Allen finds beneath the surface complexity of the "Parmenides" an underlying simplicity, a rhythmical beauty. The result is a serious, provocative new reading of a dialogue that has troubled scholars for centuries. In this elegantly written book, he offers not an exhaustive interpretation of the dialogue but a solution in the sense that it is now possible to begin to learn what the "Parmenides" has to teach. Allen's new translation and analysis of the "Parmenides" will be invaluable for scholars in both philosophy and classics. --
