The Parmenides is arguably the pivotal text for understanding the Platonic corpus as a whole. Miller offers a new reading that takes as its key the closely constructed dramatic context and mimetic irony of the dialogue.
Mitchell H. Miller, Jr. is Professor of Philosophy at Vassar College and author of The Philosopher in Plato's "Statesman" (1980).
“Miller's work is a splendid achievement—original, thorough, clear, deep and exciting. He blends literary sensitivity with analytical precision in a way that helps with just about everything in one of Plato's most obscure and difficult dialogues.”—Edward N. Lee, University of California, San Diego
