Descrizione

Studies on the second part of the Parmenides usually assume that the dialectical exercise concerns exclusively the intelligible realities (Ideas and Principles). On the contrary, some passages of the text imply not only metaphysical or logic references, but also empirical and material ones. We find reflections on geometric shape, on contact and on motion, which hardly appear applicable to ideal realities only; in addition, the topic of place proves that «if it (the One or everything) were nowhere, it would not be at all»; this affirmation has a clear Zenonian origin, which confirms the physical dimension. The dissertation about time must be added: all that is both is in time and flows with time and becoming cannot be attributed to intelligible, immobile and eternal realities. This is confirmed by the enigmatic section concerning the instant (155E4-157B4), which is placed as a reality out of time to justify the change in time that only concerns empirical things.
