{"product_id":"alexander-curtis-h-questing-for-truth-9783991817215","title":"Questing for Truth","description":"The book begins by introducing Parmenides and his work in the context of Greek philosophy, the new medium of writing and Elea's position as a recently founded Greek colony. All aspects of Parmenides' poem are examined in the light of insights given by a variety of authors. This paves the way for a series of original insights made by the present author. This results in a new approach to Parmenides which emphasises the relevance of his philosophy for us today. Diagrams illustrate key points. At the end a loose and lively translation frees Parmenides' poem from the contexts in which it is so often stifled. Not herself a philosopher, Sappho's poems show that she did lead her life according to principles that imply some form of philosophy and her work stands as a shining example of a conception of truth that is integral to Parmenides but which is now long forgotten. After an introduction, Sappho and her conception of truth and beauty is articulated via a series of translations of the more extent surviving fragments.","brand":"Buchschmiede","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53738387636566,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/alexander-curtis-h-questing-for-truth-9783991817215","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
