Victor CastonI started an account at BlueSky because so many other academic #philosophers had signed up, but there is even less activity than here.
I'm especially interested in #GreekPhilosophy but also #philosophyofmind and #metaphysics.
Any others out there?
kæt@vcaston I asked the other day for "the one book" to read about Parmenides' work (after starting with WP and then his SEP entry), but got no replies. I'm sure there are philosophers here somewhere: we can try to dig them out, 😀.
Do 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.

@vcaston Ah, that sounds excellent. "Parmenides and Presocratic Philosophy", OUP?
I kept on hearing references to P. which piqued my interest so I read a little online about him, but want a little more. Usually I reach a dead-end where there's an extensive, unvariagated bibliography though, and I don't have the time or resources to go through them all, but I'd like to read "a book" about him and his ilk. I will order a copy.
That's the one. But maybe read a little online on Amazon or Google to see if it's the right sort of pitch for you.
