Reading edition
Aristot. Metaph. A. vi. p. 987, a. 32; M. iv. p. 1078, b. 12. That Plato’s Philosophia Prima involved a partial coincidence with that of Herakleitus is here distinctly announced by Aristotle: that it also included an intimate conjunction or fusion of Parmenides with Herakleitus is made out in the ingenious Dissertation of Herbart, De Platonici Systematis Fundamento, Göttingen (1805), which winds up with the following epigrammatic sentence as result (p. 50):— “Divide Heracliti γένεσιν οὐσίᾳ Parmenidis, et habebis Ideas Platonicas.” Compare Plato, Republic VII. p. 515, seq.
