The question (once again) is in what cognitively acceptable way the Alētheia and Doxa sections of the epic should be connected, that is to say in what way Parmenides himself may have envisaged the relation between ontological Truth and mistaken human Opinions. An important distinction is found to obtain between the common run of humankind, ignorant and helpless, and an enlightened human elite. The views of this elite serve as an intermediate between the cognitive condition of humanity in general and the arcane knowledge and ontology of the Alētheia section and help to attenuate the dualism by bridging the gap between ignorance and absolute Truth. There is a significant and crucial interplay between the two sections which works both ways, forward from the Alētheia to the Doxa section and backwards from the Doxa to the Alētheia section. Defining characteristics of the elements per se and of their compounds in the Doxa section are reflections of defining properties of Being in the Alētheia section. Conversely, recognition of these elemental characteristics may point the way back to properties of Being. The argument of the epic from fr. B1 to fr. B19 DK is strictly organized by means of reiterated theses and type-scenes, which lend an overarching unity to the poem. This technique itself is not new, but the contents of these reiterated motifs (such as the mention of humans, of the distinction between Being and not-Being, of name-giving, or of defining properties and characteristics) are original. The reiterated motifs which secure the proofs of the main thesis function as hidden persuaders. The story of the extraordinary journey of the anonymous author to the dwelling of his nameless goddess and the revelation he receives from her have been carefully authenticated and stage-managed to provide divine backing for the stunning doctrines put forward and are also aimed at convincing the audience.

问题（再次）是，应以何种认知上可接受的方式将史诗的“神智”和“多萨”部分联系起来，也就是说，帕门尼德斯本人可能以何种方式设想了本体论真理与错误的人类观点之间的关系。人们发现，在无知和无助的人类共同生活与开明的人类精英之间取得了重要的区别。这些精英人士的观点是人类普遍的认知状态与Alētheia部分的奥术知识和本体论之间的中介，并通过弥合无知和绝对真理之间的鸿沟来缓解二元论。在这两个部分之间存在着重要的，至关重要的相互作用，这两种方法都可以起作用，从Alētheia到Doxa部分，再从Doxa到Alētheia部分后退。在“ Doxa”部分中定义元素本身及其化合物的特征是对“Alētheia”部分中“存在”定义属性的反映。相反，对这些基本特征的认识可能会指出回到存在属性的道路。史诗的论据来自fr。B1至fr B19 DK通过重复的论文和类型场景进行严格组织，为诗歌赋予了整体的统一性。这项技术本身并不是什么新技术，但是这些重复的主题（例如提及人类，区分存在与不存在，赋予名称或定义属性和特征）的内容都是原始的。可以确保主要论文论证的重申主题可以充当隐藏的说服者。
