Description Readers' comments

This paper proposes a reconstruction of the stadium-argument against motion, one of the thorniest among Zeno’s arguments. The first step is the analysis of Aristotle’s explanation of Zeno’s paradox: this text is so cryptic and corrupted to constitute almost a mystery, both in itself and concerning the sense of the argument. After discussing the textual problems and the possible critical interpretations, a new reading of the topic at stake is attempted. Such a proposal fits within the framework of Zeno’s dialectics, whose ultimate meaning is to be found in the Eleatic metaphysics.
