>So if it is not to be, it must have being a not-being as a bond in regard to its not-being, just as, in like manner, what is must have not-being what is not, in order that it, in its turn, may completely be. This is how what is would most of all be and what is not would not be: on the one hand, by what is, if it is completely to be, partaking of being in regard to being a being b and of not-being in regard to being a not-being; and, on the other hand, by what is not, if in its turn what is not is completely not to be, partaking of not-being in regard to not-being a not-being and of being in regard to being a not-being.

What the fuck was Plato smoking in Parmenides?
Call me a brainlet, but I bet $1000 no one will be able to concisely explain in 1 or 2 sentences what the hell this means.

A rock is being a rock, so it can't be a tree or a bicycle or a faggot like you, OP. Therefore, all can't be one. Parmenides has a needle dick.

Is this an actual excerpt? Does it read better in the original Greek?

>> No.10878937

>>10878928
I copied it directly from Plato's complete works, so yes it's real. And I wouldn't know if it reads better in Greek, but I assume this is a bitch to translate into any language.

t makes a lot more sense when you read it in Koine Greek. The Attic is just as nonsensical.

But saying all fags are OPs is not implied, so your logic fails

Ah yes, the way words are the thesis for their own anti-definition.
Truely fascinating
