258 Str. And is this, as you were saying, as fully endowed with being as anything else, and shall we henceforth say with confidence that not-being has an assured existence and a nature of its own? Just as we found that the great was great and the beautiful was beautiful, the not-great was not-great and the not-beautiful was not-beautiful, shall we in the same way say that not-being was and is not-being, to be counted as one class among the many classes of being? Or have we, Theaetetus, any remaining distrust about the matter?

258 Theaet. None whatever.

258 Str. Do you observe, then, that we have gone farther in our distrust of Parmenides than the limit set by his prohibition?

258 Theaet. What do you mean?

258 Str. We have proceeded farther in our investigation and have shown him more than that which he forbade us to examine.

258 Theaet. How so?

258 Str. Because he says somewhere:Never shall this thought prevail, that not-being is;Nay, keep your mind from this path of investigation,Parmenides Fr. 7.1

258 Theaet. Yes, that is what he says.

258 Str. But we have not only pointed out that things which are not exist, but we have even shown what the form or class of not-being is; for we have pointed out that the nature of the other exists and is distributed in small bits throughout all existing things in their relations to one another, and we have ventured to say that each part of the other which is contrasted with being, really is exactly not-being.

258 Theaet. And certainly, Stranger, I think that what we have said is perfectly true.
