Booth # 317
Siendo, Se Es, the Spanish edition of By Being, It Is (published by Parmenides in English in 2004) is published by Editorial Biblos and presented by author Néstor-Luis Cordero to students and colleagues at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras of Buenos Aires University. In the author's words:
"The presentation was a BIG success. The three young colleagues said enormous compliments, students were very interested, and in my short speech I payed homage to the modern Quixotes, Parmenides Publishing and Editorial Biblos. More than 20 exemplars were sold at the end of the meeting!"
"In sum, this is an outstanding example of a careful reading of a Platonic dialogue, insightfully attuned to its literary aspects without neglecting its philosophical content."

"An undisputable merit of C.'s book is to offer clarity about important textual issues, combining an incredible conscientiousness -- which is the result of the consultation of an enormous amount of manuscripts -- and insight in offering, or reiterating, his own conjectures."

This Fall, Parmenides Publishing — distributed by the University of Chicago Press — launches its first titles for both trade and academic audiences.

In addition to trade publications, Parmenides Publishing also specializes in academic titles with an emphasis on Ancient Greek Philosophy and Classics. We intend to offer new works in the field, make important out-of-print books available again, and translate relevant foreign titles into the English language. We believe that scholarly works in Ancient Philosophy and Classics should be easily obtainable and affordable for professors and students alike.
