Opis

Did Plato abandon, or modify, the 'Theory of Forms' in later life? In the 'Phaedo', 'Symposium' and 'Republic' it is agreed that Plato held that universals exist. But in 'Parmenides', he subjected that theory to criticism. If the criticism were valid, and Plato knew so, then 'Parmenides' marks a turning point in his thought.
