Zeno's Paradoxes - Book by Wesley C. Salmon

Name: Zeno's Paradoxes
Author: Wesley C. Salmon

Wesley C. Salmon’s "Zeno's Paradoxes" explores the famous paradoxes attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea, which challenge our understanding of motion and the infinite. Zeno’s paradoxes, such as "Achilles and the Tortoise," argue that motion is impossible because an object must first reach the halfway point before reaching the end, and so on ad infinitum. Salmon analyzes these paradoxes from a modern philosophical and mathematical perspective, investigating how they can be reconciled with contemporary theories of space, time, and infinity.
