De Gruyter - Die Konzeption des "noein" bei Parmenides

Explore the foundations of Pre-Socratic thought with this scholarly study by Maria Marcinkowska-Rosol. Published by De Gruyter as part of the Studia Praesocratica series, this work focuses on clarifying the concept of thinking in the philosophy of Parmenides of Elea. The research provides a deep analysis of specific fragments that address thinking and cognition, including fragments 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8.7-9, 8.15-18, 8.34-41, 8.53-54, and 16. By combining these fragments with ancient testimonies, the author reconstructs how the core ideas of Parmenides' poem connect to one another. This book presents a significant thesis: the concept of thinking plays a much more central role in Parmenides' entire philosophical system than previously understood. It is an essential resource for students and scholars of ancient Greek history, philosophy, and civilization seeking to understand the roots of Western thought.
