2018-03-19 NSPRM - Plato - Parmenides (hyp1) - Analyzing the Structure of the First Hypothesis

Dialogue(s): parmenides Chapters: hyp1 Sections: 137c Attendees: Pierre, Barbara, JulieH, Regina Notes Pierre set an assignment for the First Hypothesis though we didn't go into the first except to read the opening two Parmenides. The chart is basically the beginning analysis of the hypothesis. I made a mistake when Pierre put up the assignment at first. It only went through the 9th Parmenides and I thought he was referring to the nine hypotheses. That point clears up later. He started with a box on the chart. In the box it said The One Self, whether the One is or the One is not. Then, he asked, "Does this statement require an explanation? 1. If One is 2. Then relate that to Self 3. So that a parallel structure follows in Parmenides' Dialectic." Then, "Grade the first five lines of the hypothesis as if a student paper." "If 'x' is or is not, when there is assumed to be an inner connection with x + y" Then the assignment, (all numbers below correspond to Parmenides paragraphs in the first hypothesis.) A. Then Parmenides paragraphs 1-6 explore the One and then Conclude about the Self, 7 --I've added "paragraphs" which was not on the chart. B. 8 One, 9 Self C. Paragraph 10-18--Explora
