Professor Walter Burkert, an eminent classical scholar, has passed. He taught at the University of Zurich as well as in the US and the UK. He was an early supporter of Parmenides Publishing and its authors. His expertise and kindness will be sorely missed.
Continuing with our ongoing effort to advance philosophical research (academic & independent), we have created a new research section. A selection of cited philosophy books from the bibliographies of some of our authors with helpful links for acquiring them.
We hope you will find it useful. There is also a form to suggest books that have been particularly useful to you as well.

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."
