Plato's Parmenides. A Constructive Reading by Denis Walter
This book presents a constructive interpretation of Plato’s Parmenides. It offers a close reading of the dialogue’s first part and shows how the second part takes up its problems while unfolding a philosophical project that reaches beyond them. The reader is guided through the exercise as Denis Walter shows how it articulates a complex ontology, addressing the hierarchy of forms, definitions, participation, mathematical structure, and teleology. By organizing the argument around philosophical topics rather than deductions, the study brings into view a coherent ontological framework extending from the One to unlimited multitude. The book offers a clear and philosophically grounded reading of one of Plato’s most demanding texts.
Denis Walter, PD Dr. phil., University of Bonn, has published books and numerous articles on ancient Greek and Roman philosophy and medieval Byzantine philosophy.
