Se Ⓐnstapa<p>Parmenides would argue that Being alone exists and that Truth was to think - the One and only the One. In his poem revealed to him by a Goddess in the House of Night, he would effectively invent Western Metaphysics and Logic.

Bryan Kam<p>Yep it is, 4.1 of Introduction to <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/Metaphysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Metaphysics</span></a>, p105–7 in the Fried/Polt, basically <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/Heidegger" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Heidegger</span></a> is opposed to the opposition of Being and becoming (I&#39;m fine without that opposition). What I object to in <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/Parmenides" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Parmenides</span></a> has more to do with his attitude toward the senses than his stupid thing about Being</p>
