Note
"These two volumes collect the work of twenty-two scholars from ten different countries presented in a seminar, 'Rethinking Plato's Parmenides and its Platonic, Gnostic and Patristic Reception,' that was held during six annual meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature from 2001 to 2006 and that has broken new ground on several fronts in the history of interpretation of Plato's Parmenides."--Introd

Description and Table of Contents
Description
The theme of Volume 1 is the dissolution of firm boundaries for thinking about the tradition of Parmenides interpretation from the Old Academy through Middle Platonism and Gnosticism. The volume suggests a radically different interpretation of the history of thought from Plato to Proclus than is customary by arguing against Proclus's generally accepted view that there was no metaphysical interpretation of the Parmenides before Plotinus in the third century C.E.
