The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Parmenides by Plato: something which is other than all other things; it makes no difference
whether he predicate of one being or not-being, for that which is said 'not
to be' is known to be something all the same, and is distinguished from
other things.
Certainly.
Then I will begin again, and ask: If one is not, what are the
consequences? In the first place, as would appear, there is a knowledge of
it, or the very meaning of the words, 'if one is not,' would not be known.
True.
Secondly, the others differ from it, or it could not be described as
different from the others?
