Parmenides of Elea is generally considered the most profound and challenging of the pre-Socratic philosophers. John Palmer develops and defends a fundamentally original interpretation of Parmenides and his place in early Greek thought. An appendix presents a Greek text of the fragments of Parmenides' poem with English translation and notes.
