2019-10-04 NSPRM - Plato - Parmenides (Sections 1002, 1008, 1009, 1016) - Self in the Dialectic Method of Parmenides and Proclus

Synopsis Pierre leads the Noetic Society Parmenides study group through another session. Today we read Sections 1002, 1008, 1009, and 1016 From Barbara: This was a very complex meeting. We went into Juan Balboa's translation of Proclus' Commentary on Plato's Parmenides, Book 5. We made copies of what Juan calls “The 24 Eleatic Dialectical Variations” 1002 and later the dialectic on Providence--Section 1016. We were pursuing the idea of “Self” and its frequency in the Dialectic method and omission in the Morrow translation. I put these two sections into a document in case you want to post it. [here posted as a PDF in the Download Options menu of this page] We also touched on his Dialectic on Likeness Section 1009 as an 8 point dialectic and similarly on his Dialectic on the Many Section 1008.
