Zeno’s Paradoxes: Motion, Infinity, and the Ancient Debate

12 min23 februari 2025
We dive into Zeno of Elea’s famous puzzles—the Dichotomy and Achilles and the Tortoise—and explore why they challenged our intuition about motion. Tracing the thread from Parmenides’ unchanging reality to Aristotle’s distinction between potential and actual infinity, and beyond to the calculus that finally clarified how infinite steps can yield finite movement.
