Description: "In a new interpretation of Parmenides philosophical poem 'On Nature', Vishwa Adluri considers Parmenides as a thinker of mortal singularity, a thinker who is concerned with the fate of irreducibly unique individuals. Adluri argues that the tripartite division of Parmenides poem allows the thinker to brilliantly hold together the paradox of speaking about being in time and articulates a tragic knowing: mortals may aspire to the transcendence of metaphysics, but are inescapably returned to their mortal condition. Hence, Parmenides poem articulates a 'tragic return', i. E. , a turn away from metaphysics to the community of mortals. In this interpretation, Parmenides philosophy resonates with post-metaphysical and contemporary thought. The themes of human finitude, mortality, love, and singularity echo in thinkers such as Arendt, and Schürmann as well. 'Plato, Parmenides and Mortal Philosophy' also includes a complete new translation of On Nature and a substantial overview and bibliography of contemporary scholarship on Parmenides." -- with a bonus offer-- .
