Parmenides: The World as Modus Cogitandi

by Michael M. Nikoletseas

Read the most important book on Parmenides ever written. A new reading of Parmenides' poem by a natural scientist. The author challenges the traditional ontological interpretation of the poem. Evidence is presented in support of an alternative thesis which views the poem as an epistemological essay on method in natural science.
