The Fragments of Parmenides: A Critical Text With Introduction and Translation, the Ancient Testimonia and a Commentary

Overview

This book is a revised and expanded version of A.H. Coxon's full critical edition of the extant remains of Parmenides of Elea-the fifth-century B.C. philosopher by many considered "one of the greatest and most astonishing thinkers of all times." (Karl Popper) Coxon's presentation of the complete ancient evidence for Parmenides and his comprehensive examination of the fragments, unsurpassed to this day, have proven invaluable to our understanding of the Eleatic since the book's first publication in 1986. This edition, edited by Richard McKirahan and with a new preface by Malcolm Schofield, is released on the 100th anniversary of Coxon's birth. |||This book is sold in the US by Sony Electronics Inc. |||This book is sold in Canada by Sony Electronics Inc.

Author Information

A. H. COXON

A.H. Coxon (b. 22 November 1909 -- d. 27 October 2001) Educated at Oriel College Oxford was appointed to Edinburgh University in 1933. Except for a wartime break in Naval Intelligence he taught at Edinburgh, first as Senior Lecturer in Greek and then in Ancient Philosophy. In 1980 he retired at the age of 70 and within five years he had completed the present work, a definitive study of perhaps the most challenging of Presocratic thinkers, Parmenides of Elea.
