- Description
- Harold Tarrant's "Soul in the Earliest Multilevel Interpretations of the Parmenides" is a detective story, among other things. It also provides a statistical analysis of Porphyry's paraphrases of first-century philosopher Moderatus of Gades, whose Pythagorean-influenced interpretation of Plato's Parmenides initiates the major interpretive development for all subsequent Platonist readings of the dialogue. In particular, Tarrant shows how competing interpretations of the Parmenidean hypotheses resulted in distinctive views about the soul's status as a metaphysical principle.
