Doesn't that mean that in order to get to the halfway stage via locomotion you must first get halfway to the halfway point?

Hmm, was Zeno trying to point out that we don't experience reality as a continuum?

I think he was mostly trying to show that arguments that appear logical and sound are not necessarily accurate.

>> No.15003472

>>15003381
wait, the argument is ironic then? Zeno is demonstrating its clear absurdity to make a point about logical argument?

maybe nothing moves at all

>>15003472
Idk that's what I got from it. We only know of Zeno through other writers so who knows what he was doing. Apparently the canonical interpretation is he was trying to prove Parmenides's monism and that motion is an illusion

Is it just me, or does anyone else have the urge to throw themselves off this?

>> No.15004658

>>15004569
So he's say what ultimately *is* cannot be infinitely divisible? Or that free motion or motion through a continuum as naively understood ultimately *is not* because it involves the absurdity of being at every indivisble instant, i.e. it must be the overarching structures that really *are*?

>> No.15004717

>>15000625
this is based on the assumption that objects can't move through an infinite number of steps (a continuum) in a finite distance
