    Parmenides - The Philosopher on...

    Parmenides of Elea stands as one of the most pivotal figures in the history of Western philosophy. His contributions, particularly in metaphysics and epistemology, challenged the prevailing philosophical ideas of his time and laid the groundwork for later philosophical inquiries. Born in the late sixth or early fifth century BCE, Parmenides is best known for his poem On Nature, in which he articulates a radical vision of reality that denies change, multiplicity, and the reliability of sensory perception. His assertion that “what is, is” and “what is not, is not” forms the core of his philosophical system, establishing the principle that true being must be eternal, unchanging, and indivisible. 
    Prior to Parmenides, early Greek thinkers, particularly the Presocratics like Heraclitus and the Milesian philosophers, sought to explain the nature of reality through empirical observation and the identification of a fundamental substance or element underlying all things. Heraclitus, for example, famously posited that change and flux were the fundamental aspects of existence, encapsulated in the notion that “everything flows.” Parmenides, however, forcefully rejected this view, arguing that change and plurality were mere illusions. He insisted that the senses deceive us, leading to a mistaken belief in a world of becoming rather than a singular, unchanging being. His philosophical method, based on reason rather than empirical observation, introduced a new way of thinking that would profoundly influence later philosophical traditions. 
    The significance of Parmenides lies not only in the content of his arguments but also in the impact he had on subsequent thinkers. Plato, for instance, engaged extensively with Parmenidean thought, particularly in dialogues such as the Parmenides and Sophist, where he sought to reconcile the Eleatic notion of an unchanging reality with the apparent diversity of the world.

    Creating Space tells a professional and personal story of healthcare chaplaincy and models the way in which practice development emerges from reflecting on the human story. This book reveals to healthcare, the Church and the community, the unique role of the chaplain’s experiences as a resource to others. It is written for professional practitioners, prompting their own contextual learning and development, whether as chaplains, pastoral carers, parish clergy, lay ministers, volunteers in any caring context, those who work in listening therapies, those who provide care and support to others of any kind, or those who use or teach reflective practice.
    
     
    The authors connect in a straightforward way their view of healthcare chaplaincy as a model of practical theology, based on key practical theologians who see the human story as a source of learning. They outline their own reflective practice tool for learning and share the way in which they see each pastoral encounter as a reflective source of learning. They discover how their experiences have developed the discernment process for chaplaincy vocation, urging the Church to see beyond the parish model in today’s world.

    How was his relationship with the Pope in Rome? 
    Which other conquerors were fighting him at the time? 
    Why was there so much friction with the Ottoman Empire? 
    Learn about this, as well as his background, his marriage, his death, and his legacy. Find out why vampire stories have been derived from this dictator, and why he has been listed as one of the evilest people in history.
