		The main doctrines of the Eleatics were evolved in opposition, on the one hand, to the physical theories of the early physical philosophers who explained all existence in terms of primary matter (see IONIAN ScHooL), and, on the other hand, to the theory of Heraclitus that all existence may be summed up as perpetual change.
