Dialogue

  1 Parme|             the former being at the time about sixty-five years old,
  2 Parme|            the opinions of men; the time will come when philosophy
  3 Parme|             practising; at the same time, I admire your saying to
  4 Parme|    philosophy.~There was probably a time in the life of Plato when
  5 Parme|          are contained. At the same time, we may note also the transition
  6 Parme|         generalization. At the same time, he points out a difficulty,
  7 Parme|             not in the world, or in time; or is or is not finite
  8 Parme|         cannot even assert being or time of this without involving
  9 Parme|            his answers will give me time to breathe.’ ‘I am the youngest,’
 10 Parme|          Therefore one cannot be in time, because that which is in
 11 Parme|            because that which is in time is ever becoming older and
 12 Parme|            any other expressions of time, whether past, future, or
 13 Parme|        anything for ever so short a time, as for that time the other
 14 Parme|           short a time, as for that time the other will be in the
 15 Parme|             But does one partake of time? This must be acknowledged,
 16 Parme|   participation of being in present time, ‘to have been’ in past, ‘
 17 Parme|           be about to be’ in future time. And as time is ever moving
 18 Parme|              in future time. And as time is ever moving forward,
 19 Parme|          itself but during an equal time with itself, and is therefore
 20 Parme|           numbers, must be prior in time to greater numbers. But
 21 Parme|            come into being a longer time than they have. And when
 22 Parme|           they have. And when equal time is added to a longer and
 23 Parme|      another. And one, partaking of time and also partaking of becoming
 24 Parme|          and younger, admits of all time, present, past, and future—
 25 Parme|             and also participant of time, must there not be a time
 26 Parme|           time, must there not be a time at which one as being one
 27 Parme|            partakes of being, and a time when one as not being one
 28 Parme|           together: there must be a time of transition. And the transition
 29 Parme|             and at rest at the same time; and therefore the change
 30 Parme|          seems to mean change in no time. Which is true also of all
 31 Parme|           likewise take place in no time.~1.aa. But if one is, what
 32 Parme|         multitude, relation, place, time, transition. One is regarded
 33 Parme| philosophers to deny the reality of time and space. It is not the
 34 Parme|            not the infinitesimal of time, but the negative of time.
 35 Parme|           time, but the negative of time. By the help of this invention
 36 Parme|           non-existence in place or time: (7) The same ideas are
 37 Parme|             change: (9) One, being, time, like space in Zeno’s puzzle
 38 Parme|         objects of sense—to number, time, place, and to the higher
 39 Parme|          let us turn to facts.’ The time has not yet arrived for
 40 Parme|     conceive Him under the forms of time and space, who is out of
 41 Parme|            and space, who is out of time and space? How get rid of
 42 Parme|     Clazomenae, but that was a long time ago; his father’s name,
 43 Parme|              the former was, at the time of his visit, about 65 years
 44 Parme|             to Athens for the first time on the occasion of their
 45 Parme|             of one, and at the same time many by partaking of many,
 46 Parme|            you are still young; the time will come, if I am not mistaken,
 47 Parme|        exist as a whole at the same time in many separate individuals,
 48 Parme|             same in all at the same time.~I like your way, Socrates,
 49 Parme|             practising; at the same time, I give you credit for saying
 50 Parme|           have not heard for a long time.~When Zeno had thus spoken,
 51 Parme|          words I have to wade at my time of life. But I must indulge
 52 Parme|            his answers will give me time to breathe.~I am the one
 53 Parme|        never be at one and the same time neither wholly within nor
 54 Parme|             equality or likeness of time; and we said that the one
 55 Parme|           this nature, cannot be in time at all; for must not that
 56 Parme|           must not that which is in time, be always growing older
 57 Parme|            also becomes at the same time younger than itself, if
 58 Parme|       itself must also, at the same time, become younger than itself?~
 59 Parme|             longer or for a shorter time than itself, but it must
 60 Parme|           about to be, for the same time with itself?~That again
 61 Parme|            Then things which are in time, and partake of time, must
 62 Parme|             in time, and partake of time, must in every case, I suppose,
 63 Parme|         Then it does not partake of time, and is not in any time?~
 64 Parme|             time, and is not in any time?~So the argument shows.~
 65 Parme|             a participation of past time?~Certainly.~And do not ‘
 66 Parme|             participation of future time?~Yes.~And ‘is,’ or ‘becomes,’
 67 Parme|            participation of present time?~Certainly.~And if the one
 68 Parme|            without participation in time, it never had become, or
 69 Parme|             becoming, or was at any time, or is now become or is
 70 Parme|             many places at the same time?~No; I see the impossibility
 71 Parme|        other is during any space of time; for during that space of
 72 Parme|            for during that space of time, however small, the other
 73 Parme|             the one also partake of time? And is it and does it become
 74 Parme|          virtue of participation in time?~How do you mean?~If one
 75 Parme|   participation of being in present time, and to have been is the
 76 Parme|    participation of being at a past time, and to be about to be is
 77 Parme|  participation of being at a future time?~Very true.~Then the one,
 78 Parme|      partakes of being, partakes of time?~Certainly.~And is not time
 79 Parme|         time?~Certainly.~And is not time always moving forward?~Yes.~
 80 Parme|           since it moves forward in time?~Certainly.~And do you remember
 81 Parme|         becomes younger at the same time?~Certainly.~Thus, then,
 82 Parme|             it gets to the point of time between ‘was’ and ‘will
 83 Parme|             does it become a longer time than itself or an equal
 84 Parme|             than itself or an equal time with itself?~An equal time.~
 85 Parme|          time with itself?~An equal time.~But if it becomes or is
 86 Parme|          becomes or is for an equal time with itself, it is of the
 87 Parme|         becoming and being the same time with itself, neither is
 88 Parme|     unequals, whether to periods of time or to anything else, leave
 89 Parme|            come into being a longer time than the others.~Yes.~But
 90 Parme|     consider again; if we add equal time to a greater and a less
 91 Parme|             to a greater and a less time, will the greater differ
 92 Parme|        greater differ from the less time by an equal or by a smaller
 93 Parme|           at first, but if an equal time be added to both of them
 94 Parme|           since the one partakes of time, and partakes of becoming
 95 Parme|         once more and for the third time, let us consider: If the
 96 Parme|           many, and participates in time, must it not, in as far
 97 Parme|             And is there not also a time at which it assumes being
 98 Parme|            also gives it up at some time?~Impossible.~And the assuming
 99 Parme|              it can surely be in no time at all?~How can it?~But
100 Parme|            surely there cannot be a time in which a thing can be
101 Parme|          when in motion, or when in time?~It cannot.~And does this
102 Parme|         thing in which it is at the time of changing really exist?~
103 Parme|            motion, not being in any time; and into this and out of
104 Parme|           changing it will be in no time, and will not then be either
105 Parme|      partake of the one at the very time when they are partaking
