Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parmenides actually believed the opposite of what is stated in the question. He argued that change is an illusion and that reality is unchanging and indivisible. The statement that "everything is in flux" is attributed to Heraclitus, not Parmenides. However, given the options and the phrasing of the question, there seems to be a misunderstanding. None of the options accurately reflect Parmenides' philosophy. The correct interpretation of Parmenides' thought would be that he denied the reality of change, arguing instead for a singular, unchanging existence. Therefore, based on the question's structure, there seems to be a mistake as none of the options correctly capture Parmenides' views.
