Parmenides On Names (B 8.34-41), Leonard Woodbury Dec 1957

Parmenides On Names (B 8.34-41), Leonard Woodbury

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Thinking can take only one form ("it-is"), because thinking of this kind and that- which-is are inseparable (and so thinking can never be found ’’with" anything else, nor in any other form than "it-is"), This is because (there cannot be anything else, "with" which thinking might be found, since) that-which-is is unique, being necessarily whole and unmoved. The argument moves from thinking to that-which-is. It asks why thinking can take only one form and answers that the necessity of being, which makes that-which—is unique, does not permit an alternative. It is evident that Parmenides finds in being a limitation upon …

A Zenonian Argument Against Plurality, Gregory Vlastos Jan 1957

A Zenonian Argument Against Plurality, Gregory Vlastos

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

The two surviving fragments of this argument make up between them some 75% of all that has come down to us of Zeno's original treatise. On this one ground, if on no other, they have a high claim on the attention of anyone interested in becoming acquainted with the authentic Zeno. The problems they present are great but, one may hope, not insuperable.

Plato's Sophist 251-259, John L. Ackrill Dec 1955

Plato's Sophist 251-259, John L. Ackrill

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

The question I wish to raise is this. Is it correct to say that one of Plato’s achievements in this passage is the ‘discovery of the copula’, or the ‘recognition of ambiguity of ἔστιν’ as used on the one hand in statements of identity and on the other hand in attributive statements? I feel little doubt that it is correct to say this, but Cornford and Robinson (to mention no others) deny it. After a remark on the question itself I shall try state briefly a case for answering it affirmatively, and shall then consider some of the counter-arguments that …

Plato, Prosser Hall Frye Jan 1938

Plato, Prosser Hall Frye

Papers from the University Studies series (University of Nebraska)

It is appropriate that the University of Nebraska should publish, as a grateful memorial, the principal work which Professor Frye left behind him at his death in 1934. And it is especially appropriate because not only the work itself but the very spirit which animated it was engendered here on the spot, in the sparse leisure of his nearly forty years of teaching. For when he came, in the middle nineties, he had a bent toward science and mathematics; and it was here, paradoxically through friendship with a man of science, Louis Trenchard More, that he turned his face to …
