"It is always enlightening to re-read Plato, however often one does so, and to re-read the Parmenides in the company of Arnold Hermann's lucid and elegant translation, with its fine introduction and notes, is a pleasure indeed. We will no doubt never quite solve all the puzzles presented by this most troublesome of Plato's works, but this new edition is a powerful stimulus to try once more." —John M. Dillon, Emeritus Professor of Greek, Trinity College, Dublin
“Plato’s Parmenides is a notoriously complex and difficult work that has been controversial since antiquity. Arnold Hermann’s new book, consisting of the Greek text, a translation, and a brief interpretative commentary, is therefore most welcomed... Hermann and Chrysakopoulou's translation is vivid, well phrased, and often helps to clarify obscure and debatable passages of the text. [The] interpretative essay contributes greatly to the understanding of the dialogue, giving the various alternative interpretations and presenting many fresh ideas. Especially helpful and illuminating is the systematization of the eight hypotheses and the conclusions drawn from them in the second part of the dialogue. Although there is a vast literature on the Parmenides, Hermann’s book offers original insights into central problems of the dialogue. The book will be valuable for all scholars and students of Plato.” —Vassilis Karasmanis, Professor of Philosophy, National Technical University of Athens
"The Parmenides is Plato's most formidable dialogue, posing interpretive problems that remain unresolved despite two millennia of commentary. These problems stem in part from difficulties in translation to modern languages. The translation of Arnold Hermann and Sylvana Chrysakopoulou is one of the three or four best currently available in English. This, along with Hermann's thoughtful introduction, makes Plato's Parmenides a welcome addition to contemporary Plato scholarship." —Kenneth M. Sayre, Professor of Philosophy, University of Notre Dame
