2016-11-03 NSPRM Parmenides - Restating the Hypotheses for Completion and Clarity

Dialogue(s): parmenides Chapters: plg;2nd;3rd; Sections: 137b,155e (brief references to these, but today was really a discussion of a rewriting of the entire work as a whole). Attendees: Pierre, Barbara, David, Regina, Nancy, Eldar, JulieH, Sayon, JeffS Should the Parmenides hypotheses be re-written for completion and clarity? Why was it made so obscure? Did Plato want us to go through everything we had to, to get here? Is a clear structure / strategy helpful to reader? (And it is possible to do without giving away all the goodies.) What would we want to include, that is not, currently? What would need to not only be clarified, but added? Discussion proper (regarding Parmenides re-write, and the Zone) ends around 1hr 09min.. it seg's into sports (great game last night Cubs v Indians) and Michael Jordan (on theme of the Zone), and later into politics. ..And! If you order, now, you also get..! A group picture! (see JPG link) Working from Plato's Parmenides: The Juan and Maria Balboa Translation More info: http://noeticsociety.org/psg
