Abstract

In this treatise I don't agree to such an interpretation which supposes the decisive separation between the part of Truth and that of Doxa. We suppose that Parmenides developed the concept Eon into the principle of the phenomenal world and that his method for developping was that of original Equivocality. The concept Eon was in two ways conceived by interpreters , first in a materialistic manner as the cosmos,secondly in an idealistic manner as platonic idea. We search for an unified conception which integrates both the interpretations. We find a phase of transition of the concept Eon to the cosmological meaning in the sphere form of Eon and its boundary. (So we stand against the platonic understanding about the sphere form of Eon in the dialogue Sophistes.) The concept Eon comprehends different layers of meaning in itself together - Truth,An idealistic cosmos and Light(or Fire). This concept-fusion means , I think, an original Equivocality as a possible method of Parmenides' philosophy, and Parmenides' analogy between the identity of Thinking-Being and that of Noos-(cosmological)Elements maintains fundamentally this Equivocality. - In such a way Parmenides' concept Eon shifts its phase of meaning from aoriginal content to a cosmological and cosmogonical one and that the meaning shift was made from the point of view of the philosopher himself, but not from that of the goddess.
