2:00 I don't think he thought of "it" as being "material" or "extended". By its very nature the infinite can't be extended. The infinite has no edges, therefore, no form. For something to have a form it must be finite. If something has no edges/boundaries, what can it be said to be?
Notwithstanding whether Russell has a good grasp on Parmedines' true beliefs, way too much philosophy is exactly how he describes it. I despise philosophers of semantics. That is, those who forget that language is just model for reality, and an anomaly of language isn't an anomaly of reality.
@@Zkuo12 the heap of rice "paradox" is a good example. 1 grain isn't a heap, neither is 2 or 3, and probably not 15 grains. So how many is a heap? Encyclopedia Britannica lists this as a paradox, and it might be, but only a paradox of language and doesn't affect grains of rice.
This guy needs to read the parmenides. There is a difference between Parmenides position and Socrates position and also Zeno's. Then there is Parmenides position in his own hypothesis the first, after that it's not his but he unfolds the 8 hypothesis which are not his. The hypotheses need to be unpacked and compared. This guy doesn't do any of this
'the Parmenides' is a dialogue of Plato's, - Parmenides the philosopher lived long before that dialogue was written - So they are distinct independent topics. Both interesting tho

Thank you for your post. I enjoyed the reading on Parmenides.
thanks for uploading this..

So change is in fact not?

Do you have an example of an anomaly of language that isnt an anomaly of reality? I dont quite understand and would like to.

Parmenideez nuts.
Does everything change? Or does nothing change? Both statements may not remain truisms! Help, I am confused!

Everything is not dual to nothing...because nothing by definition can not exist.

Ok
Parmenides is right! There is only one reality, it is here and now, it is eternal, unchanging and everything else is irrelevant.
