The Prophet Of Metaphysics

The earliest metaphysical speculation was concerned with what was it that persisted through time and change. Perhaps the most radical answer ever given to to this question was to reject the very concept of change itself. Parmenides would argue that Being alone exists and that Truth was to think the One and only the One. In his a poem revealed to him by a Goddess in the House of Night, he would effectively would effectively invent Western Metaphysics and Logic. In that now fragmentary text his revelation would detail how Being alone is real with change, time and the world of sensation being mere illusions. Indeed, Parmenides may have been the first and last philosopher of pure being with all hitherto western metaphysics being a betrayal of Thinking Being, a willing amnesia of Truth itself.
