WAS PARMENIDES AN EVENTIST?

100%
EN
The aim of the article is to present the main theses of Parmenides in a formalized language including 3-argument predicate D as a primitive term. Term D is interpreted as a ternary relation of action between events. Apart from the predicate D, the vocabulary of the proposed language involves the vocabulary of the language of classical propositional logic and basic terms of non-fregean logic: non-fregean identity and quantification bounding propositional variables. This language is explicitly eventistic in its character. It has already found numerous applications in analyses concerning eventistic ontology in a strict line. Realisation of the described project allowed the authors to examine and expose the expressive power of their language. It occurred that the standpoint of ontological monism may be adequately reconstructed in a language including the concept of action between events.

The article presents some aspects of Whitehead's criticism of modern epistemology and his attempts to resolve them. Whitehead is in agreement with modern philosophers that we should accept the so-called subjectivist turn. According to this view a philosopher should start his investigations with the content of his conscious experience. But Whitehead thinks that this revolutionary postulate cannot be reconciled with substantialism, broadly accepted by modern epistemologists. Thus he maintains that we should drop this inadequate ontological background and replace it with eventism. Yet this proposal is very controversial and in the paper the author analyzes basic problems connected with it.
