Greek Philosophers

Greek Philosophers


 
The rise of ancient Greek philosophy happened around 6th century BC. Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle were the most famous philosophers living at that time.

But the philosopher I like the most is Zeno who is famous for his paradoxes. My favorite one is about Achilles and the tortoise. If the tortoise has a headstart then by the time Achilles gets there, the tortoise would have already moved further. By the time Achilles gets there, the tortoise would have already moved a little further. And so on – so that Achilles would never beat the tortoise.

Who do you think will win the race – Achilles or the tortoise?
