Parmenides

two paths
Persuasion (truth)
Theory of 'Becoming': non-being is an impossible state, but for something to go through the change of becoming and starting to exist it has to start off by non-existing (that's self-contradictory)
Theory of 'Plurality': for plurality to exist, a being needs to divide into many parts (in other words - to undergo change); but it needs something to divide it, and that something can only be a non-being (however non-beings don't exist, but plurality does = self-contradictory)
