Euthydemos Parmenides

Plato is undoubtedly one of the most important and influential philosophers in the history of thought. He contributed to the institutionalization of philosophy and the formation of the written tradition in philosophy, and was the initiator of the idealist philosophy tradition that would determine the entire medieval thought with its two-world metaphysics. Plato, who is also important in terms of his influence on Christian Medieval philosophy and Islamic thought, addressed all the problems discussed throughout the history of thought hundreds of years ago and built the first major philosophical system.

Euthydemos, one of Plato's early dialogues, takes place between Crito, who thinks about how he can raise his son in the best way, and Socrates, who offers him two ways to do this. In this dialogue, where the result of not receiving a good education is accepted as moral corruption, what is generally discussed is that something cannot exist and not exist at the same time. So knowing something means knowing everything.

In Parmenides, one of Plato's late dialogues, the search for the main article continues by discussing on the basis of unity and multiplicity. In this dialogue, Plato revisits the theory of ideas and questions the ideas he put forward in the Republic, one of his middle period dialogues.
