Dialogue

 1 Parme|    Sophist: ‘They went on their way rather regardless of whether
 2 Parme|        of the dialogue is in no way defective in ease and grace
 3 Parme|   themes, yet he always in some way seeks to find a connexion
 4 Parme|       would first go out of his way to make Parmenides attack
 5 Parme|         in many places: in this way the ideas may be one and
 6 Parme|     many.’ ‘In the same sort of way,’ said Parmenides, ‘as a
 7 Parme|   illustrate my meaning in this way: one of us has a slave;
 8 Parme|  absolute knowledge in the same way corresponds to absolute
 9 Parme|         certainly do not see my way.’ ‘I think,’ said Parmenides, ‘
10 Parme|       is never one, and in this way the one, if it is, becomes
11 Parme|     them is diminished. In this way that which was older becomes
12 Parme|     partake of one in a certain way? The others are other than
13 Parme|     difficulty at all. The only way of meeting it, if it exists,
14 Parme|      process is real, or in any way an assistance to thought,
15 Parme|       for this he is paving the way.~In a similar spirit he
16 Parme|        unable to connect in any way with the external world;
17 Parme|      were still standing in the way of all progress and development
18 Parme|         what you say in another way, and would fain make believe
19 Parme| continuous with itself; in this way each idea may be one and
20 Parme|      the same time.~I like your way, Socrates, of making one
21 Parme|        How absurd!~Then in what way, Socrates, will all things
22 Parme|    question?~I imagine that the way in which you are led to
23 Parme|   illustrate my meaning in this way, said Parmenides:—A master
24 Parme|         certainly do not see my way at present.~Yes, said Parmenides;
25 Parme|      consider the question that way; but only in reference to
26 Parme|      not to be, or to be in any way affected, you must look
27 Parme|  through all things is the only way in which the mind can attain
28 Parme|     would be affected in such a way as to be more than one;
29 Parme|     would be affected in such a way as to be more than one.~
30 Parme|         same age with it?~In no way.~Then one cannot be older
31 Parme|      one does not exist in such way as to be one; for if it
32 Parme|     have parts?~How so?~In this way:—If being is predicated
33 Parme|         it is?~Yes.~And in this way, the one, if it has being,
34 Parme|    called both.~How so.~In this way—you may speak of being?~
35 Parme|       be devoid of being?~In no way.~And it is divided into
36 Parme|         would have been in some way one.~True.~Nor can the not-one
37 Parme|         is affected in the same way it is not affected otherwise,
38 Parme|      Certainly.~And in the same way as being other than itself
39 Parme|         be greater; in no other way can one thing be in another.~
40 Parme|    older and younger in another way.~In what way?~Just as the
41 Parme|         in another way.~In what way?~Just as the one was proven
42 Parme|    being later; and in the same way the others are in the same
43 Parme|     times, for that is the only way in which it can partake
44 Parme|        either, for only in this way can it be in both. And in
45 Parme|       the one, but in a certain way they participate in the
46 Parme| participate in the one.~In what way?~Because the others are
47 Parme|        all affected in the same way.~True.~And inasmuch as they
48 Parme|        all affected in the same way.~Of course.~But inasmuch
49 Parme|    Impossible.~Then there is no way in which the others can
50 Parme|      seem not.~Then there is no way in which the others are
51 Parme|    others, not partaking in any way of the one, are neither
52 Parme|         altogether and in every way devoid of the one.~Very
53 Parme|    further, if not moved in any way, it will not be altered
54 Parme|      will not be altered in any way?~No.~Then, in so far as
55 Parme|      mean that it is not in one way but is in another? or do
56 Parme|        is not has in no sort or way or kind participation of
57 Parme|        not cannot be, or in any way participate in being?~It
58 Parme|        one then, since it in no way is, cannot have or lose
59 Parme|     lose or assume being in any way?~True.~Then the one that
60 Parme|     that is not, since it in no way partakes of being, neither
61 Parme|        like and unlike?~In what way?~Just as in a picture things
62 Parme|       have no sort or manner or way of communion with any sort
