Parmenides of Elea (Ancient Greek Παρμεν?δη? ?λε?τη? fl. 5th century BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher born in Elea a Greek city on the southern coast of Magna Graecia. He was the founder of the Eleatic school of philosophy. The single known work of Parmenides is a poem On Nature which has survived only in fragmentary form. In this poem Parmenides describes two views of reality. In "the way of truth" (a part of the poem) he explains how reality (coined as "what-is") is one change is impossible and existence is timeless uniform necessary and unchanging. In "the way of opinion " he explains the world of appearances in which one s sensory faculties lead to conceptions which are false and deceitful. These ideas strongly influenced the whole of Western philosophy perhaps most notably through their effect on Plato.

The Philebus (occasionally given as Philebos Greek Φ?ληβο?) is one of the surviving Socratic dialogues written in the 4th century BC by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. Apart from Socrates the primary speaker in Philebus the other speakers are Philebus and Protarchus. But Philebus who wants to defend the life of pleasure hedonism which Socrates describes as the life of an oyster hardly participates and his position has to be defended by Protarchus who has learnt argumentation from Sophists. Manuscripts of the work give it the subtitle "peri h?don?s ?thikos" indicating that it is "concerning pleasure" and that it is a work about "ethics" or in other words the question of the best way of life. However "there are large parts in the dialogue that deal with dialectics and ontology but have nothing to do with pleasure and ethics or if so only indirectly".

The Protagoras like several of the Dialogues of Plato is put into the mouth of Socrates who describes a conversation which had taken place between himself and the great Sophist at the house of Callias-- the man who had spent more upon the Sophists than all the rest of the world --and in which the learned Hippias and the grammarian Prodicus had also shared as well as Alcibiades and Critias both of whom said a few words--in the presence of a distinguished company consisting of disciples of Protagoras and of leading Athenians belonging to the Socratic circle. The dialogue commences with a request on the part of Hippocrates that Socrates would introduce him to the celebrated teacher. He has come before the dawn had risen--so fervid is his zeal. Socrates moderates his excitement and advises him to find out what Protagoras will make of him before he becomes his pupil. They go together to the house of Callias and Socrates after explaining the purpose of their visit to Protagoras asks the question What he will make of Hippocrates. Protagoras answers That he will make him a better and a wiser man. But in what will he be better? --Socrates desires to have a more precise answer. Protagoras replies That he will teach him prudence in affairs private and public in short the science or knowledge of human life.

Sophist

The dramatic power of the dialogues of Plato appears to diminish as the metaphysical interest of them increases (compare Introd. to the Philebus). There are no descriptions of time place or persons in the Sophist and Statesman but we are plunged at once into philosophical discussions the poetical charm has disappeared and those who have no taste for abstruse metaphysics will greatly prefer the earlier dialogues to the later ones. Plato is conscious of the change and in the Statesman expressly accuses himself of a tediousness in the two dialogues which he ascribes to his desire of developing the dialectical method. On the other hand the kindred spirit of Hegel seemed to find in the Sophist the crown and summit of the Platonic philosophy--here is the place at which Plato most nearly approaches to the Hegelian identity of Being and Not-being. Nor will the great importance of the two dialogues be doubted by any one who forms a conception of the state of mind and opinion which they are intended to meet. The sophisms of the day were undermining philosophy the denial of the existence of Not-being and of the connexion of ideas was making truth and falsehood equally impossible.

I was going from the Academy straight to the Lyceum intending to take the outer road which is close under the wall. When I came to the postern gate of the city which is by the fountain of Panops I fell in with Hippothales the son of Hieronymus and Ctesippus the Paeanian and a company of young men who were standing with them. Hippothales seeing me approach asked whence I came and whither I was going. I am going I replied from the Academy straight to the Lyceum. Then come straight to us he said and put in here you may as well. Who are you I said and where am I to come? He showed me an enclosed space and an open door over against the wall. And there he said is the building at which we all meet and a goodly company we are. And what is this building I asked and what sort of entertainment have you? The building he replied is a newly erected Palaestra and the entertainment is generally conversation to which you are welcome.

It seems impossible to separate by any exact line the genuine writings of Plato from the spurious. The only external evidence to them which is of much value is that of Aristotle for the Alexandrian catalogues of a century later include manifest forgeries. Even the value of the Aristotelian authority is a good deal impaired by the uncertainty concerning the date and authorship of the writings which are ascribed to him. And several of the citations of Aristotle omit the name of Plato and some of them omit the name of the dialogue from which they are taken. Prior however to the enquiry about the writings of a particular author general considerations which equally affect all evidence to the genuineness of ancient writings are the following Shorter works are more likely to have been forged or to have received an erroneous designation than longer ones and some kinds of composition such as epistles or panegyrical orations are more liable to suspicion than others those again which have a taste of sophistry in them or the ring of a later age or the slighter character of a rhetorical exercise or in which a motive or some affinity to spurious writings can be detected or which seem to have originated in a name or statement really occurring in some classical author are also of doubtful credit while there is no instance of any ancient writing proved to be a forgery which combines excellence with length. A really great and original writer would have no object in fathering his works on Plato and to the forger or imitator the literary hack of Alexandria and Athens the Gods did not grant originality or genius. Further in attempting to balance the evidence for and against a Platonic dialogue we must not forget that the form of the Platonic writing was common to several of his contemporaries. Aeschines Euclid Phaedo Antisthenes and in the next generation Aristotle are all said to have composed dialogues and mistakes of names are very likely to have occurred. Greek literature in the third century before Christ was almost as voluminous as our own and without the safeguards of regular publication or printing or binding or even of distinct titles. An unknown writing was naturally attributed to a known writer whose works bore the same character and the name once appended easily obtained authority. A tendency may also be observed to blend the works and opinions of the master with those of his scholars. To a later Platonist the difference between Plato and his imitators was not so perceptible as to ourselves. The Memorabilia of Xenophon and the Dialogues of Plato are but a part of a considerable Socratic literature which has passed away. And we must consider how we should regard the question of the genuineness of a particular writing if this lost literature had been preserved to us.

1997년에 데뷔, 오늘날 세계적인 작가의 반열에 오른 트레이시 슈발리에의 2013년 작. 처음으로 모국인 미국의 역사를 소재로 한 장편소설로, 작가로서의 전환점을 이룬 작품이다. 저자는 2009년 4월, 노벨상 수상작가 토니 모리슨의 '19세기 지하철도 운동'에 대한 연설을 듣고 이 소설의 영감을 얻었다고 밝히고 있다.
이후 4년간 19세기 미국 오하이오의 시대상에 대한 면밀한 역사적 고증 작업을 통해 소설의 입체성을 완벽하게 구현했다. 미국 중서부 초기 개척자들의 삶을 면밀하고 섬세하게 관찰하여 각 등장인물들에게 각기 다른 개성을 부여하면서 1850년대 퀘이커 교도들과 도망 노예들의 이야기를 감동적으로 재현했다. 출간 이후 언론과 문단의 호평을 받았다.
영국 퀘이커 교도인 아너 브라이트는 1850년 영국 도싯(Dorset)에서 미국 오하이오로 항해를 나선다. 약혼했던 남자가 파혼을 선언하면서 마음의 상처를 깊이 입은 아너 브라이트는 언니 그레이스가 미국에 있는 약혼자와 결혼하기 위해 떠난다는 소식을 듣고, 갑작스레 언니와 동행하기로 결정한다.
하지만 한 달여의 항해로 인한 뱃멀미로 시달리고, 마차를 타고 미국 대륙을 건너는 도중 언니 그레이스는 황열병에 걸려 시름시름 앓다가 낯선 땅에서 죽음을 맞이한다. 홀로 남게 된 아너는 언니의 약혼자에게 불운의 소식을 전하기 위해 오하이오 주 페이스웰로 기나긴 여정을 계속한다.
