2018-06-08 NSPRM - Plato - Parmenides (133d-134c) - Selves Above and Below, Selves Everywhere

Dialogue(s): parmenides Chapters: plg Sections: 133d-134c (P36-P48) Attendees: Pierre, Barbara, Regina, JulieH, Eldar, JeffS Why is Parmenides using these lower (Master/Slave) terms when he could have used 'King/Subject'? What does 'selves in relation to selves' mean? Why does Parmenides/Plato use 'real being' (ontos) to refer to us (since that's a very different use of that term than he does elsewhere)? Focus on P41-43: Knowledge (capital K) and knowledge (little k): Classes without direct experience or possession. Regina's question at end from 1:45 on. Jeff's suggestion of fixing interruptions (which I later apologized to Pierre and retracted).
