Presocratic philosophy was born in the Greek cities of Ionia at the end of the 7th century BCE The foundation of the Ionian school in Miletos is the starting-point of the presocratic thought, namely the first philosophical thought in the Ancient Greek world. The Presocratics combined ancient Greek mythology with rational thinking and sought all the forces which compose nature. The natural presocratic philosophers explored the chief cause of the creation of the world, as well as all those forces on which the universe and humanity itself are founded. Presocratic philosophers lived and taught in Asia Minor, in Thrace, in Sicily and in South Italy. The native city of Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes was Miletos, that of Heraclitus was Ephesos. Samos was the birthplace of Pythagoras and Melissos, and Abdera that of Democritos. Finally, Empedocles was born in Sicily, and Zenon and Parmenides in Elea. The presocratic philosophers spread with their thought, the wings of civilization and philosophy. All the concepts and sciences, which have been rapidly developing up to this day, are the spiritual issue of those philosophers. The concept of substance, the concept of infinity, the concepts of power,numbers, motion, Being, Atom and space-time are creations of this philosophical thought. Socrates grew up in the atmosphere of the Presocratic philosophers and exploided the knowledge and wisdom. His education was based on the Presocratic philosophy and his figure changed the world. Socrates gave philosophy for the first time an anthropocentric, or human-centered, character.

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.

ZENO OF ELEA (5th century BC) "My writing is an answer to the partisans of the many... with a view to showing that the hypothesis of the many, if examined in sufficient detail, leads to even more absurd results that the hypothesis of the One." (Zeno in Plato's Dialogue "Parmenides") Little is known of Zeno other than that he came from Elea, in southern Italy, and that he was a dedicated disciple (some say lover) of Parmenides . Zeno is best known for his use of paradox to prove his master's thesis that being is one, indivisible and eternal. Plato's dialogue "Parmenides" describes an encounter between Zeno and Socrates , but this is not conclusive evidence that he visited Athens. The fragments of his writing are all preserved in much later texts, notably in Aristotle and Simplicius' "Commentary on Physics". Zeno's treatises consisted of a series of arguments designed to prove Parmenides' concept of unity of being. His main form of argument is the paradox . Most of the paradoxes aim to prove that Being is single, finite, motionless and unchanging by examining the absurdities of the opposite "common-sense" hypothesis that several things exist. The most famous of the paradoxes, Achilles and the tortoise, is attributed to Parmenides himself. It is meant to show that motion is impossible. In a race where a tortoise is given a head start on Achilles, Achilles can never overtake the tortoise. He must first reach the place from which the tortoise started. By that time the tortoise will have got some way ahead. Achilles must then make up that and again the tortoise will be ahead. Zeno's four most discussed paradoxes have been resolved in terms of differential calculus by

He undertook to support in his only known work, fragments of which are extant, the doctrine of Parmenides by demonstrating that motion and multiplicity are logically impossible. The substance of his argument against multiplicity was that a whole must be composed of ultimate indivisible units, or it must be divisible ad infinitum. If the whole is divisible ad infinitum, there is a contradiction involved in the assumption that an infinite number of parts can be added up to a finite total. The essence of his argument against motion was that a moving body can never come to the end of a line, as it must first cover half the line, then half the remainder, and so on ad infinitum. The thrust of these arguments was to demonstrate, through logical reasoning, the error of common-sense notions of time and space.

ZENONE di Elea Filosofo greco V sec. a.C. - Zenone era un seguace di Parmenide. Parmenide asseriva che l'unico Essere immutabile fosse la realtà ultima. Zenone, nei suoi Paradossi, cercò di provare l'assurdità del credere che la realtà fosse fatta di molte cose mutevoli. Egli arguì che se una cosa si muove, si dovrebbe muovere sia dove c'è che dove non c'è. Ma non si può muovere dove c'è, perchè lì è in posizione di riposo. Nemmeno si può muovere dove non c'è, perchè lì non esiste nemmeno. Per cui, concluse, il moto è assurdo. ZENO of Elea Greek philosopher - 5th century BC Zeno was a follower of Parmenides. Parmenides asserted that the one unchanging Being was the ultimate reality. Zeno, in his Paradoxes, tryied to prove the absurdity of believing that reality is made up of many changing things. He argued that if a thing moves, it must move either where it is or where it is not. But it cannot move where it is, because there it is at rest. Nor can it move where it is not, because it doesn't even exist there. So, he concluded, motion is absurde.

If there is such a thing as space, it will be in something, for all being is in something, and that which is in something is in some space. So this space will be in a space, and so on ad infinitum. Accordingly, there is no such thing as space. Motion The Arrow in Flight If, Zeno says, everything is at rest when it is in a space equal to itself, and the moving body is always in the present moment in a space equal to itself, then the moving arrow is still. Therefore the arrow in flight is stationary. The Race Course Motion does not exist because the moving body must go half the distance before it goes the whole distance. Achilles and the Tortoise The slow runner will never be overtaken by the swiftest, for it is necessary that the pursuer should first reach the point from which the pursued started, so that necessarily the slower is always somewhat in advance. This argument is the same as the preceding, the only difference being that the distance is not divided each time into halves. The Stadium With reference to equal bodies moving in opposite directions past equal bodies in the stadium with equal speed, some form the end of the stadium, others from the middle, Zeno thinks half the time equal to twice the time.

ZENO OF ELEA (c. 490 -) Zeno was born in Elea and was a disciple of Parmenides. 1. "For he [Zeno] has in a way written the same thing as you [Parmenides], although by changing it he is trying to mislead us into thinking that he is saying something different. You [Parmenides] say in your poems that the universe is one, and you produce excellent evidence for that view. He [Zeno] says that there do not exist several things, and he too produces many impressive pieces of evidence. One of you says that things exist, the other that there do not exist several things, and each of you expresses himself in such a way that you seem not to be saying the same things at all even though you are saying pretty well the same things something which seems to be above the heads of the rest of us."

Early Greek Philosophy Zeno of Elea John Burnet 155. Life According to Apollodorus Zeno flourished in 01. LXXIX. (464-460 B.C.). This date is arrived at by making him forty years younger than Parmenides , which is in direct conflict with the testimony of Plato. We have seen already ( ) that the meeting of Parmenides and Zeno with the young Socrates cannot well have occurred before 449 B.C., and Plato tells us that Zeno was at that time "nearly forty years old." He must, then, have been born about 489 B.C., some twenty-five years after Parmenides . He was the son of Teleutagoras, and the statement of Apollodorus that he had been adopted by Parmenides is only a misunderstanding of an expression of Plato's Sophist . He was, Plato further tells us, tall and of a graceful appearance. Like Parmenides Zeno played a part in the politics of his native city. Strabo, no doubt on the authority of Timaeus , ascribes to him some share of the credit for the good government of Elea , and says that he was a Pythagorean. This statement can easily be explained.

Most of our sources are reports given by philosophers: It is only from these sources that we can have an accurate idea of where Zeno was going with his arguments. Yet it still remains unclear how many other arguments existed and how exactly the arguments are meant to be understood. Parmenides states: For you will not find thinking apart from what-is, on which it depends For its expression. For apart from what-is nothing else Either is or will be, since what-is is what Fate bound To be entire and changeless.
