What is The Dialogues of Plato, Volume 4 : Plato's Parmenides, Revised Edition about?

Among Plato's later dialogues, the __Parmenides__ is one of the most significant. Not only a document of profound philosophical importance in its own right, it also contributes to the understanding of Platonic dialogues that followed it, and it exhibits the foundations of the physics and ontology that Aristotle offered in his __Physics__ and __Metaphysics__ VII. In this book, R.E. Allen provides a superb translation of the __Parmenides__ along with a structural analysis that procedes on the assumption that formal elements, logical and dramatic, are important to its interpretation and that the argument of the __Parmenides__ is aporetic, a statement of metaphysical perplexities. Allen's original translation of and commentary on the __Parmenides__ were published in 1983 to great acclaim and have now been revised by the author.
