| In recent decades students of mathematics, philosophy, and the classics have again and again raised their voices 1 to vindicate the serious importance of Zeno's paradoxes of motion (Vorsokr.2 29 A 25-28 - Lee,3 nos. 19-36), not even excluding the Stadium. No longer can the problem implied in the paradoxes be disposed of by simply pointing out that time and space are equally divisible. The question which is at the bottom of all four of them is far more profound. [...] Fur- thermore, it has been shown that Aristotle, when qriticizing the paradoxes, was not concerned conscientiously to adjust his objec- tions to that which the historical Zeno had tried to prove, or rather disprove. [...] If it is thus established that Zeno's syllogisms must not necessarily be condemned as a futile play of dialectics 6 and that Aristotle's censure fails to do Zeno justice, a road seems to be open to a full rehabilitation and, perhaps, glorification. But one doubt remains. How adequately did the real Zeno actually deal with the problems he had in hand? And how sincere was he about them? [pp. 1 f.] |
