{"product_id":"questing-for-truth-von-alexander-h-curtis","title":"Questing for Truth","description":"The book begins by introducing Parmenides and his work in the context of Greek philosophy, the new medium of writing and Elea’s position as a recently founded Greek colony. All aspects of Parmenides‘ poem are examined in the light of insights given by a variety of authors. This paves the way for a series of original insights made by the present author. This results in a new approach to Parmenides which emphasises the relevance of his philosophy for us today.  Diagrams illustrate key points. At the end a loose and lively translation frees Parmenides' poem from the contexts in which it is so often stifled. Not herself a philosopher, Sappho's poems show that she did lead her life according to principles that imply some form of philosophy and her work stands as a shining example of a conception of truth that is integral to Parmenides but which is now long forgotten. After an introduction, Sappho and her conception of truth and beauty is articulated via a series of translations of the more extent surviving fragments.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783991817215\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParmenides of Elea, Sappho of Lesbos\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783991817215","offer_id":55552770113861,"sku":"9783991817215","price":15.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/fb84481b-3131-415c-bacb-23dd41bd1123.jpg?v=1779770422","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/questing-for-truth-von-alexander-h-curtis","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
