Zeno [of Elea] (English spelling)

Japanese: ゼノン[エレアの](英語表記)Zēnōn
Zeno [of Elea] (English spelling)
Ancient Greek philosopher, 490-440 BC. Born in the Greek colony of Elea in southern Italy. A disciple of Parmenides, the founder of the Elea school, Zeno defended his teacher's arguments with his own unique method of argument. In other words, he first accepted the argument of his opponent, and then indirectly refuted it by showing what contradictory conclusions arose from its premise. Thanks to this method of argument, Aristotle credits him with discovering dialectics. Today, Zeno's method of argument is known in two refutations of the many and four refutations of the verb.

前490ころ‐前440ころ
古代ギリシアの哲学者。南イタリアのギリシア植民市エレアに生まれる。エレア学派の創設者パルメニデスの高弟で,師の主張を彼独自の論法によって擁護した。すなわち彼は,相手の主張を一度受け入れ,その上でその前提からいかなる矛盾した帰結が生ずるかを証明してみせることによって,間接的に相手の主張を論駁(ろんばく)した。この論法によって,アリストテレスは彼をディアレクティケ(弁証法,問答法)の発見者としている。ゼノンのこの論法は今日,〈多〉にたいする反駁二つ,〈動〉にたいする反駁四つが伝えられている。
