Pre-Socratic Presentation Parmenides (Parmenides) Melissa Charles

Background (background) Parmenides a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher of Western Philosophy as well as a poet. He was born in Elea, Italy in 510 BC, son of Pyres and died in 450 BC. He was a student of Ameinias, as well as the founder of the School of Elea. He is one of the most important philosophers in the soup bowl of all the Pre-Socratic Philosopher's, and is even taught of as the grandfather of western philosophy. He inspired many later philosophers such as Socrates, Plato,Zeno (one of his students), Aristotle and others. His main line was metaphysics which ?ed What is the nature of reality?

Basics of the theory (basics of the The basics foundation of Parmenides theory was something never thought of by philosophers. Many believed everything changed, Parmenides thought the exact opposite of that. Everything never changed. Instead our senses deceived us to believe in the idea of changing. To him, the world itself has never changed, and instead our senses of the world changes and it is much to advanced for us to grasp. The only way we can grasp it is through logic. “ the perception of movement and change is an illusion and says that everything that is, has always been and will ever be, since it can always be thought and spoken of.”

Basics of the theory (basics of the theory) WAY OF TRUTH What is real Parmenides states> two ways of finding out : 1-That it is. 2-That is not “ Cannot be known through sensory perception” WAY OF SEEMING What is illusory Can be understood by reason or logos

Legacy of his theory Legacy of his theory Some of the legacy Parmenides had left behind is in the work of those who he influenced such as Plato, Zeno, Aristotle as well as others. He brought up certain good points in his poem, about meditating, where one can go father from the “physical world.” His impact on Zeno brought him to be well known for his paradox “Zeno followed his master's advise to disarm his adversaries by leading their argument and absurdum and thus became famous for his paradoxes”
