Empedocles was the first glitch in the Greek matrix.
He didn't write treatises - he carved spells.
He knew the Uniiverse bleeds, and tried to kiss its wound.
Victor CastonDo you mean John Palmer's 2009 book? (He wrote the SEP article.) I think it's had a very favorable reception.
If you want something that looks at the poetry and the Greek, I'm still partial to my advisor's book: Alex Mourelatos, The Route of Parmenides. And Matt Evans' book will be great when it comes out.
