Dialogue(s): sophist Sections: 254b-257a my apologies: sound was horrible tonight. it drops in and out. and even when the audio is "in", it is distorted because i had pierre's mic volume up too "hot". sorry! the audio cuts out 19:05 - 20:06 while pierre takes a break. it cuts out again for the last couple of minutes of the recording (58:57 - 1:00:38). so if anyone did record the evening, and has audio for that last section, please send it to me and i will gladly patch it in 2:14 sub-atomic and quantum physics smaller than planck's length, objects no longer have any mass van der Waal's force field theory maintains these particles in clusters even when they have no mass parts and whole the greek philosophers ask: what must exist to keep these relations of parts to whole and its parts? why don't the parts just scatter? what keeps them together? do we have to redefine what the "whole" is here? plato deals with this in the 6th hypothesis of the parmenides being, the one that is, and the one that is not. plato deals with "non-being" in a particular and legitimate way now in the sophist, the sophist also deals with non-being. does he deal with it in the same way? is participation properly developed? where are the contradictions? how does the sophist work his craft?
