ABSTRACT
The answer to the puzzle on falsehood is surprisingly obvious. The problem for Parmenides and Plato really began as an epistemological puzzle regarding the metaphysics of thought. Forms are both denotative and connotative; but nothing is meaningful in isolation; words acquire meaning for application. The threat of relativism is resisted and the promise of a middle ground between materialism and idealism is developed. The methodological passage ends, and shaking off the impervious philosophical link to dialectics, the Stranger recasts the interest in the present voyage in terms of catching the sophist. The solution to the puzzle on not-being has been explained by the introduction of three distinct all-pervasive forms. These three distinct all-pervasive forms are: being, sameness, and difference. Catching the sophist is again paralleled with the overthrow of the Parmenidean Challenge. The opening thesis statement clearly suggests that matter of blending in the case of a statement is a question of how words stand together when spoken in succession.
