Zeno of Elea
(5th century BC) Philosopher and mathematician from Elea in Italy. He studied under Parmenides and followed his techer to Athens when he was 40. There he became a teacher, and had several famous students, including Pericles and Callias.Later in life he was to return to Elea, where he is said to have tried to overthrow the tyrant Nearchus. The plan failed, and Zeno was tortured, but couragously gave no information.
Zeno worked out a series of paradoxes to demonstrate his ideas, including the logical impossibility of motion and the illusority of the senses. In doing this, he was called the inventor of dialectical reasoning by Aristotle. His best known paradox is the one about Achilles and the turtle. According to Zenon, if the two are put to race and the turtle is given some distance to start before Achilles, there is no way Achilles can pass it as the turtle will move a little while Achilles is running. By moving forward the turtle is always ahead, and so it will be at least a tie. Webmistress V.E.K. Sandels

Biography:
Zeno of Elea (c. 490 BCE) was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher and a pupil of Parmenides whose work has not survived directly, but we do know of it from the reports of others. Zeno is most famous for his paradoxes involving time and motion, using reductio ad absurdum to show that neither can be infinitely divisible. Stadium Paradox: Zeno argues that it is impossible to ever reach the finish line when running around a stadium. In order to reach the finish line, you must first reach the halfway point. But before you reach the halfway point, you must reach the halfway point to that - and so on, and so on to infinity. Thus, if space is infinitely divisible then any finite distance must consist of an infinite number of points. It is impossible to reach the end of an infinite series in a finite amount of time. Achilles Paradox: If Achilles races a tortoise and gives the tortoise a head start, then Achilles will never be able to overtake the tortoise. When Achilles reaches the point where the torotise started, the tortoise will have moved on. When Achilles reaches that point, the tortoise will have moved on farther - and so on indefinitely.

Zeno of Elea
I . Biography:
  • He was born in 488 BCE in Elea (Velia) in Italy
  • His father was Teleutagoras
  • At the age of forty accompanied Parmenides to Athens. He resided some time at Athens, and is said to have unfolded his doctrines to people like Pericles and Callias for the price of 100 minae.
  • He was said to have taken part in the legislation of Parmenides, to the maintenance of which the citizens of Elea had pledged themselves every year to by oath.
  • He was given credit of advancing law and order in Elea.
  • He had a love for freedom and it was shown by the courage with which he exposed his life in order to deliver his native country from a tyrant. Whether he died in the attempt or survived the fall of the tyrant is a point on which the authorities vary.
II Philosophy:
  • He was an Eleatic philosopher.
  • He was the despise of Parmenides. In fact they were so close Aristotle considered Zeno the son of Parmenides. Zeno devoted all his energies to explain and develop the philosophical system of Parmenides.
  • Parmenides taught that the world of sense - consisting of motion and plurality - is an illusion and false. True being is absolutely one; there is in it no plurality or multiplicity. True being is absolutely static and unchangeable and there is no motion.

ARCHITECTS ... PHYSICISTS MATHEMATICIAN ZENO OF ELEA (fl. 490 - 430 BC) Life
Zeno was born in Elea, in Magna Graecia (south Italy). He was a disciple of Parmenides, the founder of the Eleatic School, whom he later succeeded as its head. His pupils included Pericles and later, in Athens, where he and Parmenides both went to teach, Socrates. He is cited by Plato, Heraclides Ponticus, Hermippus, Antisthenes, Stobaeus, Aristotle, Plutarch, Eudemus, Philo and Suidas.
Work
Zeno taught that there is no movement, and he proved it by 4 arguments, which are quoted by Aristotle in his "Physics". The first holds that, in order to cover a distance one must first cover half the distance, but in order to do that one must first cover half of that first half, and so on ad infinitum. This demonstrates that one can, therefore, never reach the goal, and in fact that there is no movement at all. The second is the example of Achilles, who can never catch up with the tortoise because he must first reach the point the tortoise started from, by which time the tortoise has moved on, and so forth. The third is the example of the arrow released from the bow, which is "proven" not to move at all, because each moment of time is made up of an infinite number of instants, indivisible and infinitely small. The fourth is the example of the two rows of bodies in the stadium, which he proposed as a mathematical proof of the non-existence of motion.
Aristotle refuted Zeno's arguments, pointing out that "time is not made up of indivisible instants, any more than is any other magnitude".

The Paradoxa of Zeno of Elea Heraclitus Zeno of Elea (Magna Graecia, South Italy) born c. 488 BC the son of Teleutagoras was a philosopher who studied in the Eleatic School of philosophy founded by Parmenides (the son of Peirethos born c. 520-510 in Elea) , whom he later succeeded as its head. He was a student of Parmenides and there is also a story that he was adopted by Parmenides. In Plato's Parmenides we learn that Parmenides and Zeno visited Athens and that they discussed various philosophical problems with others and among these was also the young Socrates. Zeno's students were Pericles and Socrates, Empedocles Leucippus , Pythodoros, Kephalos and Kallias. Zeno was a teacher and one had to pay 100 minae to be his student. His philosophy of monism claimed that the many things which appear to exist are merely a single eternal reality which he called Being. Zeno died under torture when a revolt against a tyrant failed:

Zeno of Elea
Very little is known about Zeno, the first great doubter of mathematics. Zeno was born in Elea, a Greek colony in southwestern Italy, around 495 B.C. In 449 B.C. Zeno accompanied his teacher, philosopher Parmenides, on a trip to Athens. Zeno taught in Athens for several years before returning to Elea and joining a conspiracy to overthrow the city's tyrant, Nearchus. For his part in this conspiracy, Zeno was tortured to death. Many stories are told about his interrogation. One claims that he named the tyrant's friends as conspirators. Others say he bit off his own tongue and spit it at the tyrant, or that he bit off the Nearchus' ear or nose. Zeno was a philosopher and logician, not a mathematician. He is credited by Aristotle with the invention of the dialectic, a form of debate. Zeno wrote only one known work called Epicheiremata , where he attacks the opponents of his teacher, Parmenides. His most famous achievement came from his paradoxes. With very little remaining from his only work, the only records of his work come from secondary sources, mainly Aristotle. Only eight have survived from around forty of these paradoxes. The purpose of these arguments was to defend his teacher's ideas. Parmenides believed that reality was one, immutable and unchanging. Motion, change, time, and plurality were all mere illusions. Many critics were attracted by this. Zeno's paradoxes attempted to show that holding the opposite position, that reality was many, was contradictory and absurd. Therefore, "the one" must be correct philosophy. Curiously, using Zeno's methods, his own position can also be shown to be contradictory.

ZENO OF ELEA
ZENO OF ELEA , son of Teleutagoras, is supposed to have been born towards the beginning of the 5th centtiry n.c. The pupil and the friend of Parmenides, he sought to recommend his masters doctrine of the existence of the One by contro verting the popular belief in the existence of the Many. In virtue of this method of indirect argumentation he is regarded as the inventor of dialectic, that is to say, disputation having for its end not victory but the discovery or the transmission of truth. He is said to have been concerned in a plot against a tyrant, and on its detection to have borne with exemplary constancy the tortures to which he was subjected; but authorities differ both as to the name and the residence of the tyrant and as to the circumstances and the issue of the enterprise. In Platos Parmenides, Socrates, then very young, meets Parmenides, an old man some sixty-five years of age, and Zeno, a man of about forty, tall and personable, and engages them in philosophical discussion. But it may be doubted whether such a meeting was chronologically possible. Platos account of Zenos teaching (Parmenides, 128 seq.) is, however, presumably as accurate as it is precise. In reply to those who thought that Parmenidess theory of the existence of the One involved inconsistencies and absurdities, Zeno tried to show that the assumption of the existence of the Many, that is to say, a plurality of things in time and space, carried with it inconsistencies and absurdities grosser and more numerous. In early youth he collected his arguments in a book, which, according to Plato, was put into circulation without his knowledge.
