Abstract
This chapter presents a brief life history of Zeno. Zeno was the favorite pupil of Parmenides and the teacher of Pericles. Zeno of Elea is called by Aristotle the discoverer of dialectics. Zeno tried to show the merely relative validity of our assertions with regard to the phenomenal world. Zeno suggested that because of the infinite divisibility of time and space, motion cannot begin at all. Historical evidence shows that Zeno confuted most ably the opposing philosophers and was the first to bring out the aggressive or negative force of the dialectic method. With question and answer, he professed to show that the contradictions of his opponents were the more glaring.
