Dialogue(s): parmenides Chapters: plg Sections: 132d 132e 133a 134d 133e Attendees: Pierre, Barbara, David, Regina, Eldar, JulieH, Yoni Is the Self an idea (in the Greek sense of 'idea')? The problem of infinite regress of likenesses when talking about a likeness between 'things' (in the phenomenal/physical world) and 'ideas' (in the metaphysical world) (Therefore right here in the Parmenides Plato is showing the problem with the idea of "forms" -- which academia thinks is the position that Plato/Socrates hold -- when clearly he refutes it right here. So what is an idea and what is meant by it and 'where' it exists and how must be something very different than that ascribed to Plato mistakenly by Euro-American academia.) Is there Self? or Selves? The problem of naming: i.e., the lack of similarity between "Master" in the realm of ideas and "master" in our world.
