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.

http://www.kat.gr/kat/history/Greek/Ph/ZenoElea.htm

Extractions: (c. 495 BC-c. 430 BC), see also Eleaticism Greek philosopher and mathematician, whom Aristotle called the inventor of dialectic . He is especially known for his paradoxes that contributed to the development of logical and mathematical rigour and that were insoluble until the development of precise concepts of continuity and infinity. Zeno was famous for the paradoxes whereby, in order to recommend the Parmenidean doctrine of the existence of "the one" (i.e., indivisible reality), he sought to controvert the common-sense belief in the existence of "the many" (i.e., distinguishable qualities and things capable of motion). Zeno was the son of a certain Teleutagoras and the pupil and friend of Parmenides . In Plato's Parmenides, Socrates , "then very young," converses with Parmenides and Zeno, "a man of about forty"; but it may be doubted whether such a meeting was chronologically possible. Plato's account of Zeno's purpose (Parmenides), however, is presumably accurate. In reply to those who thought that Parmenides' theory of the existence of "the one" involved inconsistencies, Zeno tried to show that the assumption of the existence of a plurality of things in time and space carried with it more serious inconsistencies. In early youth he collected his arguments in a book, which, according to Plato, was put into circulation without his knowledge.

http://64.1911encyclopedia.org/Z/ZE/ZENO_OF_ELEA.htm

Extractions: 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.

http://www.archaeonia.com/philosophy/presocratics/zeno.htm

Extractions: ZENO OF ELEA (born 488 B.C.) Z eno was an Eleatic philosopher , a native of Elea (Velia) in Italy, son of Teleutagoras , and the favorite disciple of Parmenides . He was born about 488 B.C. , and at the age of forty accompanied Parmenides to Athens. He appears to have 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. Zeno is said to have taken part in the legislation of Parmenides, to the maintenance of which the citizens of Elea had pledged themselves every year by oath. His love of freedom is 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. They also state the name of the tyranny differently. Zeno devoted all his energies to explain and develop the philosophical system of Parmenides. We learn from Plato that Zeno was twenty-five years younger than Parmenides, and he wrote his defense of Parmenides as a young man. Because only a few fragments of Zeno's writings have been found, most of what we know of Zeno comes from what Aristotle said about him in Physics, Book 6, chapter 9.

Extractions: Number Zeno of Elea's Paradice Quantum Comments Arrow Paradox There is no motion since what is moving must arrive at a midpoint before arriving at an endpoint. This paradox makes a deluded classical presumption that reality is both an infinitely divisible spatial extensity and that infinitesimal reductions of that infinitely divisible extensity are demarcable by ideal 'dimensionless' classical 'points' and that a moving object can 'stop' at classically demarcated points. (Classically 'stop' means zero momentum Another way to make our statement is that this, Zeno's first, paradox assumes that classical motion and time are subject to analyticity. Via that assumption, any classical motion

Extractions: Next: How big is big? Up: Pure mathematics Previous: Pure mathematics Contents Greek philosopher, born at Elea, about 490 B.C. At his birthplace Xenophanes and Parmenides had established the metaphysical school of philosophy known as the Eleatic School. The chief doctrine of the school was the oneness and immutability of reality and the distrust of sense-knowledge which appears to testify to the existence of multiplicity and change. Zeno's contribution to the literature of the school consisted of a treatise, now lost, in which, according to Plato, he argued indirectly against the reality of motion and the existence of the manifold. There were, it seems, several discourses, in each of which he made a supposition, or hypothesis, and then proceeded to show the absurd consequences that would follow. This is now known as the method of indirect proof, or reductio ad absurdum , and it appears to have been used first by Zeno. Aristotle in his "Physics" has preserved the arguments by which Zeno tried to prove that motion is only apparent, or that real motion is an absurdity. The arguments are fallacious, because as Aristotle has no difficulty in showing, they are founded on on false notions of motion and space. They are, however, specious, and might well have puzzled an opponent in those days, before logic had been developed into a science. They earned for Zeno the title of "the first dialectician," and, because they seemed to be an unanswerable challenge to those who relied on the verdict of the senses, they helped to prepare the way for the skepticism of the Sophists. Besides, the method of indirect proof opened up for the sophist new possibilities in the way of contentious argument, and was very soon developed into a means of confuting an opponent. It is, consequently, the forerunner of the Eristic method, or the method of strife.
