Dialogues: parmenides Chapters: hyp4 hyp3 plg Sections: 156a 129e 136a 136b 136c Attendees: Pierre, Barbara, David, Regina, Nancy, Bradley, JulieH, Yoni, JeffS First we worked in the 3rd hypothesis (but PG had thought he was reading in the 4th -- this was a rare mistake on his part). so diagram 1 started out looking like it was for the 4th, but was really the 3rd. "The receiving and releasing of ousia is the process of coming to be." Then we moved to looking at the 4th hypothesis. Then PG offered that instead of each of us mastering a particular hypothesis, we could instead just bring in questions about things we are reading and stuck on. At which point JeffS offered that he had a question about how Parmenides' dialectic of 8 (and Proclus' 24) mapped onto the 9 hypotheses -- and we discussed this for a while but PG said basically, it doesn't. (Discussion: diagram 2) Then briefly back into the 4th. Working from Plato's Parmenides: The Juan and Maria Balboa Translation More info: http://noeticsociety.org/psg
