Dialogue

 1 Parme|     Hegelian identity of Being and Not-being. The Being and Not-being
 2 Parme|           Not-being. The Being and Not-being of Plato never merge in
 3 Parme|            into and from being and not-being, the one and the others.
 4 Parme|        nothing else; but if all is not-being there is nothing which can
 5 Parme|         being implies the being of not-being, and being the not-being
 6 Parme|           not-being, and being the not-being of not-being; or more truly
 7 Parme|         and being the not-being of not-being; or more truly being partakes
 8 Parme|            and not of the being of not-being, and not-being of the being
 9 Parme|            being of not-being, and not-being of the being of not-being
10 Parme|          not-being of the being of not-being and not of the not-being
11 Parme|           not-being and not of the not-being of not-being. And therefore
12 Parme|            not of the not-being of not-being. And therefore the one which
13 Parme|          is not has being and also not-being. And the union of being
14 Parme|         And the union of being and not-being involves change or motion.
15 Parme|      change or motion. But how can not-being, which is nowhere, move
16 Parme|          other, such as, being and not-being, one and many, are conceived
17 Parme|            6) The idea of being or not-being is identified with existence
18 Parme|          in the Sophist: Being and Not-being are no longer exhibited
19 Parme|             and the true nature of Not-being is discovered and made the
20 Parme|          all as many proofs of the not-being of the many as you have
21 Parme| destruction, and even of being and not-being. In a word, when you suppose
22 Parme|      either of the being or of the not-being of one?~By all means, said
23 Parme|        cessation of being, or from not-being into becoming —then it passes
24 Parme|          predicate of one being or not-being, for that which is said ‘
25 Parme|           existence in relation to not-being.’) were to relinquish something
26 Parme|          of being, so as to become not-being, it would at once be.~Quite
27 Parme|             must have the being of not-being as the bond of not-being,
28 Parme|           not-being as the bond of not-being, just as being must have
29 Parme|            must have as a bond the not-being of not-being in order to
30 Parme|            a bond the not-being of not-being in order to perfect its
31 Parme|          being of being and of the not-being of not-being is when being
32 Parme|            and of the not-being of not-being is when being partakes of
33 Parme|            and not of the being of not-being—that is, the perfection
34 Parme|      perfection of being; and when not-being does not partake of the
35 Parme|            does not partake of the not-being of not-being but of the
36 Parme|        partake of the not-being of not-being but of the being of not-being—
37 Parme|      not-being but of the being of not-being—that is the perfection of
38 Parme|          that is the perfection of not-being.~Most true.~Since then what
39 Parme|           then what is partakes of not-being, and what is not of being,
40 Parme|            being?~Clearly.~And has not-being also, if it is not?~Of course.~
41 Parme|           it changes from being to not-being?~That appears to be true.~
42 Parme|         communion with any sort of not-being, nor can anything which
43 Parme|       opinion or any appearance of not-being in connexion with the others,
44 Parme|            with the others, nor is not-being ever in any way attributed
