This treatise offers a new solution to the famous puzzle of the so-called "gymnastic" half of Plato's "Parmenides". The author shows that the work serves to introduce a metaphysics which had outgrown problems commonly associated with Plato's middle dialogues, creating a bridge to his later work.

This book offers a controversial new solution to the famous puzzle of the so-called `gymnastic'' half of Plato''s Parmenides, the meaning of which has so far completely eluded understanding. Meinwald goes on to show that the Parmenides serves to introduce a metaphysics which has outgrown the problems commonly associated with the `Platonism'' of the middle dialogues, providing a crucial bridge between those dialogues and the later works of Plato. `Simply stunning. [Meinwald''s] interpretation of a difficult and crucial Platonic text is not just to be placed among others as one more excellent competitor. It supersedes the others.'' Sandra Peterson, University of Minnesota
