HEIDEGGER AND PARMENIDES

The research is concerned with the philosophy of Parmenides of Elea. This philosopher is one of the most famous thinkers of the Greek antiquity. His philosophy is important because it represents, in the history of philosophy, the first moment of thinking of Being in the horizon of ontology. This act of thinking depends on three conditions of possibility: 1. The coaffiliation of dasein and Being; 2. The fundamental identity between thinking and being (“thinking and being is the same thing”); 3. The primary language in which we call gods and all things in their essence. This research represents a reconstruction of Parmenides’ philosophy using the German transcendental idealism and especially Heidegger’s phenomenology. I think that Parmenides’ philosophy represents an essential moment in the history of philosophy, as compared with Heraclitus’ philosophy.
