| Abstract: | Parmenides has been widely regarded as someone whose main assertions are outrageously false, since he seems to have denied change, motion and diversity. In this note I will show that, while there is some justice in the received view, nonetheless there are important insights to be gained from taking his position seriously. Along the way, I will register agreement or disagreement, where appropriate, with the papers by ScottMann and Peter Woolcock in this volume. My final position is more in agreement with Mann than Woolcock, though I have disagreements with both. |
