• Acknowledgments Introduction Chapter 1 On One Side and Other Side, Trojan and Greek: Plato's Parmenides and Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida Chapter 2 If the One Is: Priest and Dante Chapter 3 If the One Is Not: Badiou and Howe Chapter 4 If the Others Are: Kant and Blake Chapter 5 If the Others Are Not: Hegel and Wordsworth Chapter 6 On One Side and Other Side, Hegel and Genet: Shakespeare’ s Antony and Cleopatra and Derrida's Glas Acknowledgments Notes Bibliography Index

"The One and the Others is an impressive, lively retelling of the history of Western philosophy as a series of attempts to resolve the paradoxes identified in Plato's Parmenides. Cutrofello provides a sympathetic and original examination of an extraordinary range of figures, both philosophical and literary, connecting each figure with one of the hypotheses Parmenides explores with the young Socrates in that dialogue. This book leaves us with an exciting, if dizzying picture of the history of metaphysics as a never-ending oscillation between a fixed number of intrinsically unstable positions." - Mark Alznauer, Northwestern University
