Zeno's Paradoxes

A dozen essays published between 1929 and 1970, when the Bobbs-Merrill edition appeared, explore modern interpretations and applications of some enduring puzzles set in the Western world by the Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea in the fifth century BC. They deal with concepts that form the basis of modern science, such as space, time, motion, change, and infinity. The reprint has a new preface and an updated bibliography. c. Book News Inc.
