The Presocratics: Zeno of Elea
Blog: https://psychreviews.org/the-presocratics-zeno/
In the tradition of Parmenides of Elea, Zeno was a student of his who flourished in the mid 5th century BC. Much of Zeno's thoughts comes down to us from Plato's Parmenides, where there's a dialogue between Parmenides, Zeno and Socrates. Laertius adds, as Aristotle did, that Zeno was "skilled to argue on both sides on any question..." He was an early, if not the earliest philosopher to use the dialectic method, and therefore an influence for a young Socrates and Plato later on. The meeting may be imaginary because it is not possible to verify Plato's account, but it set up a challenge to Eleatic philosophy for posterity.
