 10.12. Zeno of Elea (495?-435? B.C.)
Zeno was born in the Greek colony of Elea in southern Italy around 495 B.C. Very little is known about him.
He was a student of the philosopher Parmenides and accompanied his teacher on a trip to Athens in 449 B.C. There he met a young Socrates and made enough of an impression to be included as a character in one of Plato's books Parmenides.
On his return to Elea he became active in politics and eventually was arrested for taking part in a plot against the city's tyrant Nearchus.

The position of the other great pupil of Parmenides, Zeno of Elea, was clearly stated in the first part of Plato's dialogue Parmenides.
There Zeno himself accepted the definition of Socrates, according to which he did not really propose a philosophy different from that of Parmenides but only tried to support it by the demonstration that the difficulties resulting from the...

Elea is famous for the philosophical "school" that bears his name, the Eleatics, whose first and foremost member was Parmenides, followed by his disciple Zeno.
Both are staged by Plato in the Parmenides, and it is an citizen from Elea who takes over Socrates' leading role in the Sophist and Statesman to commit the liberating "parricide" in thought of Parmenides and introduce true dialectic.

Zeno was a pupil and friend of the philosopher Parmenides and studied with him in Elea.
Zeno returned to Elea after the visit to Athens and Diogenes Laertius claims that he met his death in a heroic attempt to remove a tyrant from the city of Elea.
However, there is some evidence that this type of belief was around in the fifth century BC, particularly associated with medical theory, and it could easily have been Zeno's version of a belief held by the Eleatic School.

 Notes on the Eleatics (Parmenides, Zeno,Melissus)
Parmenides of Elea was probably born about 515 BCE and died in the mid-fifth century.
Zeno of Elea was apparently a student of Parmenides (those who attest this include Plato, who has been found to be generally reliable regarding people's birth dates, death dates, and associations).
The works of the three "Eleatic" philosophers have much in common, but that is not to say that all three were trying to do the exact same thing, or that all three can be found to be in agreement on all points.

 What is real   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Most accredited with the proposition of monism is the philosopher and scientist Parmenides of Elea (Velia), Italy, who firmly believed that reality is single, changeless and homogeneous.
Indirectly defending the arguments of Parmenides was the philosopher Zeno of Elea (circa 450 BC), of whom almost nothing is known except his supposed forty philosophical paradoxes.
Zeno, a disciple and friend of Parmenides, disproved the pluralist argument of his time by logically concluding that it is paradoxical; to assume the basic rules of pluralism, Zeno argued, would lead to infinite regress, mainly in the form of infinite division.

 Monism - The Philosophy of Parmenides and Zeno   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Heraclitus maintained that everything changes, and since philosophers love to argue, it is perhaps unsurprising that someone stated the exact opposite, namely that nothing ever changes.
This view was put forward by Parmenides, son of Pyres who came from Elea, a Greek foundation in southern Italy.
The chronicle describes Parmenides as a nobleman who once established a new law for Elea, which became so popular that all new officials of the city had to swear they will abide by the Parmenidean law before they were inaugurated.

Parmenides of Elea was a younger contemporary of Heraclitus of Ephesus, but he lived at the opposite end of the Greek world: in Italy.
Both men were intrigued by the immense variety of phenomena, but where Heraclitus discerned order in the chaos, Parmenides pointed out that the endless variety and eternal changes were just an illusion.
Parmenides' student Zeno of Elea tried to prove that the world of our everyday experience is inconsistent with the real world of our intellect, and became famous for several paradoxes.

 [No title]
Dialectic (from the Greek dialektike techne - ‘art of discussion’) is a philosophic form of debate which dates back to Zeno of Elea, and is to be found more recently in the philosophies of Kant, Hegel and Marx.
The process, although variously redefined throughout the ages, consists essentially of a movement from thesis, to antithesis, to synthesis (see Solve et Coagula).
The implosion of totalized systems; anti art becomes the foundation of art practice (see Show Jumper), modernism becomes traditional (see 20th Century Blue), emancipation becomes oppression, abstraction becomes trompe-l’oeil (see Equestrian), truth becomes illusion and vice versa (see 20th Century Blue).
