It critiques referential theories of meaning, advocating for a logical approach detached from reality. The works on Parmenides highlight his coherent philosophy, emphasizing the dualism of true-being and true-appearing, while addressing the impossibility of non-being. The final essay contemplates potential connections between early Indian philosophy and Parmenides, enriching the discourse on ancient philosophical ideas.
