Parmenides
Highlights the contrast between Greek and Roman thought and the reflection of that contrast in language. The author analyzes the decline in the primordial understanding of truth - and, just as importantly, of untruth - that began in later Greek philosophy and that continues by virtue of the Latinization of the West.
