Abstract:
Parmenides of Elea was an influential philosopher before Plato. This book reinterprets Parmenides' views and offers an account of his relation to his predecessors and successors. It also examines Parmenides' arguments, considering his connection to Greek thought and tells how his account of what-is could serve as a model for later philosophers.

Publisher Synopsis
"This ground-breaking book offers an unorthodox reading of Parmenides' philosophy ... Curd is a close, careful reader of the Parmenidean text. Her translations are both highly accurate and readable... This excellent book ... places Parmenides in the context of his historical predecessors and delineates his influence on the subsequent history of philosophy as well."--Religious Studies Review "The Legacy of Parmenides represents a milestone along the way of Parmenides' interpretation... It will prove indispensable."--Alexaner Nehamas, International Studies in Philosophy Read more...
