Greek Philosophers: Parmenides & Empedocles

Abstract: A 12 page paper. There were many Greek philosophers before Aristotle, Plato and Socrates. Parmenides and Empedocles are two of them. These early Greek philosophers literally changed Greek thought. Parmenides changed the way in which theories are presented, specifically, he was the first to offer arguments for his views. He also left his fellow and subsequent philosophers with a dilemma to reconcile. This essay presents an overview of the thoughts of these two philosophers, compares them and offers a conclusion regarding their accomplishments. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
