Ant,
Parmenides profoundly influenced Plato (at least thats what he wrote)
Leading to the conversation I would most like have with Bob Pirsig.
It would be cool to have an ale with him and debate whether or not
attributing "change" to DQ has the kind of clarity of meaning when it
refers to that which has no distinction.
Would he say "change" was the first "form" of the good?.
