Gadamer on Parmenides & the Birth of Philosophy

[@Pontiki1977]

I am born and raised Greek, 5th decade alive, English is my second language since i was a small child. Don't know German. But i study them because i love the language and their culture. As a Greek, comparing this video to the other where Gadamer talks about Heraclitus, and where we can hear his German words describing the mind of some ancient Greeks, without a translator on top, is pure magic.

Gadamer, great as always. Thanks for sharing this clip.

[@leonsolo01]

Thank you!

[@dorianphilotheates3769]

Aside from all his other accomplishments, Parmenides is also credited as the legendary founder of the city of Parma, Italy, which still bears his name; he went on to invent a number of important innovations, including the process of making Parmesan cheese - the famous Parmigiano Reggiano. Thank you, Parmenides!

O conceito de Kant de "a priori"e "a posteriori" entre eles há um espaco a ser completado pela acão ( conceito de Arent ) do homem.

Em questao de kosmos a queatao permanece intocada até ter a resposta para a pergunta: qual é a parte que falta para resposta completa !!!

[@dorianphilotheates3769]

Gadamer good clip!

[@Sunfried1]

What's the point of the title. Gadamer says very little about Parmenides.

[@jackeasling3294]

Can you upload the whole of whatever this comes from? Can you upload the macrocosm? The Deus sive Natura?

nietzsche and heraclitus versus parmenidies and plato

[@GabrielSousa-nh3ib]

Brilliant!

[@GabrielSousa-nh3ib]

Brilhante!

[@alfredorezende580]

Parmenides representa o ponto de interrupcao às doutrinas antecessoras ao iniciar nova direcao ao pensamento filosofico.

secular scientism

[@kolitmas624]

I am sorry Professor, but mathematics was developed in Egypt and Babilon a thousend years before Pytagoras. It was the Greeks who took the achievements of the Egyptians and Babilonians and extended them. But the Greeks did not created mathematics.

[@tarhunta2111]

You obviously don't listen.He said the Greeks were the first who offered proofs for their mathematics.Unlike the Egyptians and Babylonians.

[@timothy1445]

I think what Gadamer is getting at is that whilst mathematics and numerical systems did exist throughout the Egyptian and Babylonian worlds, the concept of formal proof and abstraction arises in Ancient Greece.
