Nothing Ever Changes | The Mind-Numbing Philosophy of Parmenides

S01E06 - The pre-Socratic philosopher Parmenides believed that not only change but also motion, and even the many separate things we see, cannot exist. And so, everything we perceive isn’t really there at all. To most people, Parmenides’ ideas sound absurd. But when you follow his reasoning, you might want to think twice about the world you’ve always assumed to be a certain way. He makes you doubt, makes you wonder. In fact, his reasoning was groundbreaking at that time and profoundly influenced the course of Western philosophy.
