    Very little is known of the life of Zeno of Elea.

    We certainly know that he was a philosopher, and he is said to have been the son of Teleutagoras. The main source of our knowledge of Zeno comes from the dialogue Parmenides written by Plato.

    Zeno was a pupil and friend of the philosopher Parmenides and studied with him in Elea.

    Biography of zeno of elea james

    The Eleatic School, one of the leading pre-Socratic schools of Greek philosophy, had been founded by Parmenides in Elea in southern Italy. His philosophy of monism claimed that the many things which appear to exist are merely a single eternal reality which he called Being.

    His principle was that "all is one" and that change or non-Being are impossible. Ce
