I absolutely LOVE the reaction of the CGers

Nekromantik was on an ego-trip, feeling powerful, thinking he wrought destruction and terror to the forum, and the CGers reacted with amusement. "We don't need no stinking admis"

The most disturbing thing I saw all night was Protein's optical illusion picture.



They did put a lot of effort into it though. A few more years and they might manage to get a reaction...

Yeah, but he's important as the founder of dialectic and probably the inspiration for the later sophistic movement.

This is a historical course. It's not as if I'm trying to persuade the students of the merits of Heraclitus warnings about alcohol abuse or that they should bury themselves in **** when they're sick or jump into volcanoes because they're God

I reckon that would be funny. I'd wager a reasonable sum that Aristotle would have you admitting you were FOS in no time. He may not be right about a lot of things, but there has never been anyone more formidable at destructive arguments.

quote: What exactly does this mean?

Zeno offers up a lot of arguments in defence of the Eleatic thesis that there is no motion, change or plurality.

A lot of these arguments trade on the idea of a line containing an infinite amount of points. KH will probably correct me, but I think it was Georg Cantor who pointed out what was wrong with Zeno's assumptions.

Zeno was probably the first person to think critically about our concepts of space and time (although I believe he would not have understood it that way - since the notion of a concept would be foreign to him - that is what causes him and the other Eleatics so much trouble).

They are important because they were a major influence on Plato's thought (although he argued vehemently against their monism).
