Abstract

The poem of the Presocratic philosopher Parmenides about “What Is” deeply influenced the course of Western philosophy, yet scholars widely dispute the meaning of the poem. Diverging from all previous metaphysical interpretations, I argue that Parmenides’ subject was his novel method of argument – logic itself.
