Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the relationship between Parmenides and Zeno and further explores the Pythagorean school. The author argues that Parmenides' second part of his poem relies on doctrines not his own. The author then seeks to identify the origin of these doctrines and who held them.
