Some scholars are still considering the obscure dictum in "De Soph." by
Plato, "My father was Parmenides".
Was he being metaphorical, or hyperbolic?
There are NOT many cases of philosopher father, philosopher son -- perhaps
Galen Strawson is the most important. Grice's son, Timothy, wrote a DPhil
for Oxon, too -- "But when people say Gricean they usually mean my father".
Philippa Foot's father -- as he a philosopher?
