So Parmenides is saying how... «В темных областях мудрости»
denis-smirnov7 февраля 2022So Parmenides is saying how he's bound to the charioteers who brought him to the underworld, the charioteers that right from the beginning he refers to as kourai—young women, girls, daughters of the Sun.
He arrives as a kouros together with kourai, and it couldn't be otherwise. The place he's reached is a place where everything comes together with its opposite: earth and heaven, night and day, light and darkness but also male and female, mortality and immortality, death and youthfulness. And even the fact that his partners are daughters of the Sun, beings of light who are at home in the darkness, couldn't be more appropriate. Later Parmenides explains how—in terms of the grand illusion we live in—humans themselves are originally solar beings, children of the sun.
Death for us seems just nothingness, where we have to leave everything behind. But it's also a fullness that can hardly be conceived of, where everything is in contact with everything and nothing is ever lost. And yet to know that, you have to be able to become conscious in the world of the dead.
