A thesis presented on Parmenides of Elea, born in 510 B.C.E., serves as a
muse for my studies in education. I find his fragments and specifically his poem,
âÂÂOn Nature,â to be very captivating as a metaphor for education and for life.
Specifically, his work points towards the importance of being on a journey in quest
of knowledge. I utilize his metaphor as a quest in a personal educational journey
and also in an academic one that can be applied to the searches of others.
I am interested in utilizing the writings of Parmenidesâ work to form a
framework for a philosophy curriculum for secondary schools. The thesis is
centered on Parmenidesâ proem-introduction, poem and its applications for
applying philosophy to values clarification and ethics.
