The Faces of Parmenidis

By Panayotis Zamaros

In an attempt to find purpose or a thesis to defend, this paper explains how thinking with Parmenidis (Parmenides in the Greek pronunciation) as well as other philosophers has helped with identifying such purpose. Namely that the faces of Parmenidis, that is, the different ways his thought has been re-thought by various other thinkers amongst which Platonas, Kant and Heidegger to name only those this paper examines, present different features, that is different ways to interpret Parmenidis' thought. But amid difference there is one constant: that each and every interpretation is an interpretation as such with its logic and structure. In this respect there is just one face of Parmenidis, one philosophy because what all philosophies make reference to is one and the same: the being of humanity.
