Hi all Raymond Tallis in Philsophy Now states:
"Perhaps the most dramatic and possibly even the most influential thought in philosophy is Parmenides' assertion that the universe is an unchanging, undifferentiated unity. He arrived at this conclusion by an argument so simple that if you blink, you miss it. What-is-not, he says, is not. Since what-is-not does not exist, it cannot act either as a womb of that which is coming to be, or a tomb for that which has ceased to be. Things cannot therefore come into being, nor pass away, for they cannot arise out of or pass into what-is-not. Nor can there be space between objects (since empty space is what-is-not), and so the differentiation of Being into beings in the plural is impossible." Is the concept of DQ a refutation of this?
